I Tried

I Tried

By

Jose M. Euvin

 

As far as I’m concerned

I tried

 

I did all a man could do

To never stop loving you

 

You are marry

But still alone

I hear you cry

Cause I’m not home

 

Where is home

Sometimes I think

Home is where your family is

Others say

Home is where your heart is

 

My heart is split

And

Yet broken

 

Can a man have more than one heart?

Can a man have more than one home?

 

When I walk the streets

I examine the smallest things

People

Details

Those that remind me of you

 

The question that still hunts me is…

Who are you?

The question still remains

 

You are the one I dreamed of

Once upon a time

Somewhere in a dream I dreamt

 

Can’t put a name to that smile

Or a face in denial

 

Just take it all

Make it go away

From the beginning

To its end

"Where is home;Sometimes I think;Home is where your family is;Others say;Home is where your heart is;

"Can a man have more than one home?;Can a man have more than one heart?"

I fully subscribe to your view. whether man or woman.. can have or can't hve isnt the question..
its always the thoughts come to you, that decides.. all live twice. once in reality n once in mind.

"Can a man have more than one heart?" a question I ask myself. Understand your troublings.

I think this asks a good question and describes the tumoil of a heart being pulled two different directions. I also agree with Stacy Foster that you don't need the first two lines. The following lines are powerful enough without them.

I don't think this has an end yet because there are still too many questions. I don't know if this is based on fact, but whichever genre you have written this in, the same applies. Your protagonist has no idea about his surrounds and the fluttering of his heart. He is pulled this way and that and standing on shifting sands!
There are no answers to his dillema...A well penned and thought provoking piece of writing.

You write so well your feelings of lost love. Sometimes i think we can have our heart in two places at the same time, the question being can our spirit be in two places as well?

This is a sad write and may times life doesn't work out the way we would like it too. In my case we just brought out the worst in each other. Apart we are better parents and better people. we will always love each other we just can't live together. This was emotional and well written.

another good write! it tells the truth and has that longing feeling the reader gets while reading this poem. great job! :)

[Nick Erickson]

Another good piece. So true, being lonely when surrounded by people or loved ones. Crazy how that works.
