Lost Letters

M a k e M e

Do you ever say a word so much
You forget why you're saying it
Or what the meaning of it is

Who was the first person to say it
Who came up with the meaning
Why did they make it a word

I'm tired of saying that word
It gives me headache

I lied

I'm not tired of the word
I'm tired of the reason

After every action
Before every sentence

I feel a need
A sorrowful and core abiding need

To say that word
To fall to my knees

I want it to stop
I want this to stop
Please make it stop

Sorry, I need sleep
