Muthoni Kabogo Poet Rhyme

Tried

She tried!
But she failed.
Because it is impossible
To give what is not received.
Totally unreasonable
To expect the unpromised.
Completely regrettable
To be and feel unappreciated.
She stopped!

She tried!
To show that she's different
A giver, not a taker.
That she'd prefer
To be self-reliant 
Not dependent.
She made it satiably coherent
That she would rather
Be a lover, not a sucker.
It was a total disappointment!

She tried!
To show you could triumph
For you, she could change.
Accept to take just half
And try to manage
Until you were ready 
To give her not all, but enough.
But you were reading from a different page
So you made it tough
Impossible to gauge!

She tried!
To communicate
Make you understand
What she felt.
But you made it hard
For her tender heart
You openly tortured
And for long, she was patient.
Made sure she followed
For a while, when you left.
Her desire withered!
