Tired of the aching in my soul,
The bitter resentment that has made my bones their home
The burning gasping pain that frequents my heart.
I'm tired of the mistakes of lifetimes past & old memories that haunt
I'm trying to be better or do you not care?
Do you not see it? Do you not see the sorrow behind my smile,
The way I see the pain behind yours?
I take your hand & press it to my lips,
Wishing I could hide your pain in my core
That I could just take it away.
But you don't wish for the same, you toss sharp knives disguised as words into my ears,
I am forced to listen.
Your constant barrage of tear stained mistakes & decade old fears
Thrown at me.
Let me breathe without the weight on my chest, suffocating me.
I want to fly with you
But you're pinning down my wings with your reckless thoughts & careless metaphors.
