I Try Without Success

I wanted to tell you I loved you,

but it ended up just being darkened words on a page...

 

I wanted to sing you a song,

but all I could utter was something that had been sung before...

 

I wanted to write you a poem,

but all my inspiration seemed to be used up...

 

I wanted to write you a story,

but no plot seemed good enough...

 

I wanted to draw you a picture,

but I used all the ink on my attempts at loving you..

 

I wanted to show you I loved you,

but everyone else seemed to do it better than I...

 

I tried to love you,

I didn't seem to know how...

 

I do love you,

but I don't know if I do it the right way...
