All My Efforts

I have exhausted all my efforts to make you mine

You are not mine

 

I included you in all my dreams

You tried to resist

Failed. Once and twice

My all was your temporary illusion

You couldn’t resist

But just for a while

And then your senses were alarmed

Time and place helped you fleet

Nothing was left for you to resist

Shades I have become in a faded background

 

I am exhausting all my trials to let go

My mind tries but my soul says no

And as time pass me by, I live moments when you tell me “I told you so”

My illusion sees something I can’t describe

My brain tells me something I can’t abide

 

You are not mine
