But Still by Gary R. Ferris
I said all that I can say;
But still, you don’t hear me.
Your eyes appear open;
But still, you cannot see.
*****
I’ve poured my heart out to you;
But still, it went to waste.
I tried so hard to feed you;
But still, you wouldn’t taste.
*****
I even tried to touch you;
But still, you couldn’t feel.
I even tried to nurture you;
But still, you wouldn’t heal.
*****
I try so hard to reach you;
But still, you’re far away.
I wake in hope each morning;
But still, it’s not today.
*****
You look so hopeless and out of sight;
But still, I don’t know.
I guess I should walk away;
But still, I can’t go.
