Try My Best
“Why do you do that?
Why do you constantly
push me away?” she asked.
“I don’t know, I don’t mean to,
maybe there’s something wrong
with me,” I said.
“No, I think you do. I think you
know exactly what you’re doing
and it needs to stop.”
“Okay. I’ll try my best.”
A few weeks later she was gone
just like the one before her
and the one before that.
I guess I didn’t try my best
or maybe my best
just wasn’t good enough.
I decided I’d have to find
a new woman and give it
another try.
