I'm Tired

By daiglepoems

I'm tired of "I'm sorry".
I'm tired asking "why".
I'm tired of your starry eyed
lovin' on the fly. 

I'm tired of your smile.
cuz you wear it like a frown.
Tired walking single file
while you're playing double down.

Your ill conceived teardrops,
cold as morning dew.
Prefabricated movie props
that work on T.V. 2.

Of playing Coast to Coast
while I'm standing in the rain.
Making minimal the most.
Taking pleasure in my pain.

Tired wondering "I wonder".
Tired pulling out the stops.
Tired crawling out from under
and running from the cops.

Tired loving when I'm hating
loving living life to death.
Tired smiling while I'm waiting 
to take my last breath.

I'm tired, 
sick and tired.
of my stilted point of view.
This love affair's expired.
Farewell my love.
We're through.
