Exhausted

An anchor tied,
around my head
push me off.
I'll sink to bed.
Sleep among,
the reef and fen,
And hope I never wake again.
I’m in pain, everyday
and I’m tired of your disbelief.
Tired of the “lies”
that you’re sure you see.
well I’m tired of everyday,
And I’m tired of being me.
just this once, can you listen?
the memories of you have burned a hole into my brain,
theyve singed my hair,
painted the walls ash-grey.
i asked if i could burn the sweatshirt
but it wasnt your face i was looking at,
How is this supposed to feel?
After so many days of stress,
Rest hardly feels real.
It's something I can't assess.
I feel like a sphere.
Each task causes me to compress,
I loathe you,
Thief of waking hours.
Good terms can't be renewed,
With all the time you've devoured.
I want to see, think, and feel;
I want to spend my time pondering what is real.
DEAR TIRED EYES,
HOW DO I SLEEPSOUNDLYWHEN THE WORLDIS VIBRANTAND BURSTING WITHCOLOR?
HOW DO I SLEEPAT ALLWHEN I MISS SO MUCHAS MY EYELASHESFLUTTER SHUT?
A sigh escapes
Heart growing cold
Tears squeezed out
But nothing matters
Not at the moment
Everything is gone
Your life is a lie
Or so it seems
But no energy
Is left behind
The chipped green walls
Is my grass
The wooden chair and desk
Are my neighbors
The flickering lamplight
Is my sun
The stain of computer light
Pin pricked into my eyelids
Are my stars
I have grown incessantly tired
Tired of being nice
Tired of being understanding
Tired of being forgiving
Tired of being tolerant
Time has passed,
The pain still lasts,
And I’m still hesitant to write,
Issues and pains,
They still remain,
its not the usual kind of exhausted.
i dont feel heavy, like ten pound barbells are in my eye sockets
or like my blood is molten steel instead.
no, my arms are not limp and lifeless
Stars Sparkle in the midnight sky
Crickets chirp, Frogs croak, and Fireflies dance flashing their light upon the wall
The light so bright like at a movie premier
A book asked me once: If you could take a pill that would make you need only two hours of sleep a day would you take it?
And I said: I don’t know
I'm twisted twisted up inside
drowning in this love for you
the knot in my throat
only worse with every fleeting moment
Tired, restless
Heart beats in your chest and
Breathless
You’re smothered by the background and
Bound, restricted and backed into a corner
Hungry and famished, your throat aching to sing a song
