To the girl that tried,
Know that
Your efforts don’t go unnoticed,
I know you tried and remained devoted
You were patient, you were willing
He did you wrong and you stayed too long
His time was up but instead of calling it at a "break up”
You gave him another chance
Chances after chances, disappointments expanded
You thought he was the one which is why you couldn’t be done
You loved hard with expectations, that only led to frustrations
Every day was a routine, nothing new to be seen
You were lenient, loyal and optimistic
What you thought was love, just wasn’t realistic
You were losing yourself trying to spare his feelings,
But never did he offer you any healing
He didn’t deserve you, your patience was a virtue
You wasted too much time on a situation with grime
You sought understanding but got let down to be called
“Delusional”, “Extra” and “Crazy"
He would never know the battles you had to fight, trying to make the relationship right
You lost your happiness to please him…
So to the girl that tried, your efforts were sufficient
Don’t second guess your actions for commitment
You did more than enough, got your heart broke & remained tough
To try and love the guy, that you soon had to tell “bye”.
