She Finally Tried
She Finally Tried
by Rich Reith
Loneliness was her agony,
But full trust cannot be found.
Needs to lean on one she loves,
Can't allow herself to be bound.
For trust was part of love given,
She needed on her man to depend,
But instead of love in return,
Received scars she never could mend.
And now, again, love has returned,
Her needs now are finally filled.
Yet, in her heart, hesitance reigns,
So hard to find feelings he killed
Thirsts to be a woman again.
Wants a man she can lean upon.
Needs to give herself totally.
Wants her heart to find the new dawn.
Independence was safe and warm,
Self-reliance seemed her reward.
Yet they led her to a life alone,
Not mending the heart that was gored.
God knows she's finally trying to heal,
Resurrect those dreams that had died.
And no matter how this love proceeds
She will know that she finally tried.
She will know that she finally tried.
