I Tried

I've tried the crying 

So maybe you will feel sorry for your vicious words

I've tried the lying

So maybe you'll believe I'm innocent 

I've tried the buying 

All your favorite things for your affection

 Ive tried the denying 

Being with you isn't torturous, it's blissful!

I've tried the dying 

Because maybe then I would be free

From your words that slice through me like razors

But no matter what I do

I haven't a clue 

How to get through 

To the shell of a person 

That is you
