Tired Of The Trying

Tired of the trying 
I'm not crying anymore.
Deceiving me believing
you still love me like before.

Finding fault in everything
I try to say or try to do.
You're tired of the crying
and the things that I've been through.

The bond once shared now broken
I can see it in your eyes.
Believing I'm deceiving you
and everything is lies.

What now becomes of what we've done?
We've thrown it all away.
Both tired of the trying
and the tears we cried today.

On we go this broken road
that never has an end.
Just in case along the way
we care to try again.

Edwin C Hofert

Great heartfelt write! I think this could make for a perfect chorus for my Long Lost Love piece in the "Write me a Duet" contest! Love to do a collaboration piece if you're ever up to it!

Jeannie stay on him! There is no one who can write like Edwin. There is a group of us who praise him as well as draw our whips and let him have it. So soup mail him and get started...we want some creativity and you can bring it out....otherwise you may never hear from Mr. Poet who is taking Facebook by storm!
