I TRY

I try to speak
though the words won't come
I try to tell you
how I feel
I try to let you know
my deepest desires
I try to understand
why we can't be
I try to figure out
the reason you don't want me
I try to be seen
by your blind gaze
I try to be that someone special
that you are looking for
I try to forget you
as you turn your back on me
