Give a try, really, let's see
If you feel what I feel when you're looking at me
Your eyes say you don't, baby I'm hurt
Do think I'll still love after being thrown in the dirt
But I guess it's my fault, I couldn't turn away
Now we're not finished until you hear what I say
I tried so hard, really I did
I gave up three years and chances with them
But you never listened, no you never cared
You stood at the top when I fell down the stairs
I tried so hard, really I tried
I fought for so long and for hours I cried
And you still hold me, even after this pain
You give me a smile and I'm yours once again
I'm sick of this pain, I'm sick of your lies
I'm sick of falling for that same stupid smile
Give it a try, really, let's see
If you feel what I feel when you're looking at me
If you feel what I feel when you're looking at me
Your eyes say you don't, baby I'm hurt
Do think I'll still love after being thrown in the dirt
But I guess it's my fault, I couldn't turn away
Now we're not finished until you hear what I say
I tried so hard, really I did
I gave up three years and chances with them
But you never listened, no you never cared
You stood at the top when I fell down the stairs
I tried so hard, really I tried
I fought for so long and for hours I cried
And you still hold me, even after this pain
You give me a smile and I'm yours once again
I'm sick of this pain, I'm sick of your lies
I'm sick of falling for that same stupid smile
Give it a try, really, let's see
If you feel what I feel when you're looking at me
Author notes
...okay, I know this turned out more vicious than the picture, but I'm kinda like what the words say. I always try hard to get him and his smile blows me away...i hate it sometimes because he uses me a little bit. So that's why this poem seems angry, sorry if it's not what you're looking for.

wow your words speak loudly and i know the hurt and heartache and the pain is unsurmountable. I know in my own knowing his words are now for another that once were for me tears at the soul. but i cant get him out of my heart. thank you for entering and many blessings always xx
