Giving Up. Poem by Derrick Andrews

I like the simple things,
She likes it complicated,
Fast cars and diamond rings,
And I'm tryin' hard to make it,
But no matter what I do,
It's always not enough,
Even if the motive's true,
Pleasing her is.. Tough,
But I try, so hard,
To give her all she craves,
This love, I can't discard,
I just want her to stay,
And it seems like I should,
Just give it up,
I only wish that I could,
It's just too tough,
But now I'm, giving up, walkin' down the road,
I've spent so long away,
Now the fires burning cold,
Won't last another day.
