Once (Try)

I tried it.

I will try anything once.

I tried to trust you,

believe your promises.

I tried to follow you

even if you were wrong.

I tried to love you,

trust me this time.

I tried to be yours

becasue you told me to try.

I tried to think I could try

but still you pushed me down

further into the blackness

I tried to get out of.

Once I took a chance

on you, on faith.

Once I broke my own heart

by once trusting you.

Once,

I tried it.

And once I failed,

because you failed to try

and told me it was for

trying

once.
