I tried

When the light finally shown
She was already gone
I tried my hardest
I dug the farthest
But nothing was good enough
The shear strain
The unyielding pain
I tried.

some lights refuse to be fueled - they just flicker out

When you try and everything you've done doesn't seem enough? Yeah . . . one of the greatest pains ever.

[Michael Phillips]

All we can do is try but you know what? That's not good enough and unlike this poem its good enough but just enough

[Wynter Ignatius]

Some times that is all you can do about situations and people as a whole; I know as I'm finding that out first-hand again through the actions of a friend. Kudos and keep it up.

Great! Truly painful to read...

[Brittany Zedalis]

There's a lot of emotion in this, I can tell. Great work!

you tried..yes that is what matters ..no matter was is the end and what you have reached.,. most important that you tried..well done..though it is sad :(..but good job

[Trenton Colburn]

you tried, and that is the best you can do, and when its not good enough try and let someone else attempt to help. the way this is written is amazing, and so unbelievably accurate! Awesome Job with this!
