I tried to erase you with a teardrop of rain,
I tried to forget you but it added more pain,
Tried so hard not to think of your eyes
And of the time you took me deep into skies.
I tried to burn the memories of you and me,
Tried to dance on red-hot ashes with my bare feet.
I tried to kiss another rainbow from the raining sky
To wash my tears away and make my eyelids dry.
It seems I tried impossible but always not enough,
I tried to drag the feelings out but it only added love.
I even tried to love you more but somehow failed,
Those dreams I carried were like iron bars of jail.
I tried to wash that love away like soap bubbles
But stuck on soaked skin they multiplied and doubled.
I tried to tear apart the loving so much core
But was amazed how love was only growing more.
I tried to loosen threads connecting us,
Then glued together pieces of the beating heart.
I tried to make the best of what was really wrong,
I tried to contemplate this love before it would be gone.
I tried so hard to heal my nagging sore,
I tried to choke this love, alas, I loved you even more.
I gave up efforts to forget your sunburnt face,
I prefer to burn to ashes in the heat of your embrace...
