Tired

I said I'm tired,

I kept screaming that I'm tired,

I cried out loud, for heaven's sake!

I'm done

What's that sadistic pleasure like?

Does it fill your gut with joy?

Do you feel full?

Are you finally okay now?

Breathing is a task,

A fucking horrible task, by the way

I've spelled it out for you,

I want you O-U-T. OUT. NOW.

Maybe, just for the sake of it,

Let's believe I'm not worthy of love,

Why the fuck are you still hating me?

I'm more at peace with the cold between us.

Drown in indifference,

Let it soak your being

Wear that cloak of aloofness

that's oh-so-fashionable these days

I don't care what you do,

I can't be bothered

I don't mind it if you scream

Tell I'm the wrong one

to all the listening ears

All I'm asking is

Leave my ears alone,

Leave my eyes alone,

Leave my cheeks alone,

Leave my hands alone,

Leave my half-functioning limbs alone,

Please don't pull apart all the bandages on my heart,

I'm scared of the dripping blood,

It stains anyone who touches it.
