“Write hard and clear about what hurts.”
-Ernest Hemingway

I’ve tried it all

I’ve tried it all

I’ve gone to the park at sunrise

and waited till the sunset

I’ve tried hikes

I’ve tried dating apps

I’ve tried clubs

I’ve tried raving

I’ve tried sleeping with other women

I’ve tried patience

I’ve tried getting out of my bubble

I’ve tried what you used to do

I’ve tried soul searching

I’ve tried letting go

I’ve tried crying

I’ve tried forgiving

I’ve tried AA

I’ve tried molly

I’ve tried shrooms

I’ve tried cocaine from a stranger

I’ve tried and tried

but I still can’t get rid of you

Like a drug that sets in

You can isolate

You can distract

You can do all you want

But it’s not until you surrender

That the suffering will subside
