The Attempt

Let me attempt to tell You
My ailing heart beats feebly
I had forgotten to choose
To Love honestly and deeply 

Let me let go of this pounding 
My broken fists tremble weakly 
I had not bothered resounding 
The Love I claimed meekly

Let me rest myself at Your feet
My shattered bones crumble completely
I had not comprehended my greed
The love I dolled cheaply

Let me bare my weary spirit 
My weighted mind thinks meanly
I had but to call it quits 
To Love again serenely
