Tired of the Tears

I’m tired of living in fear. Tired of drowning in doubt Tired of shedding these tears I’m all cried out Tired endless assumptions The ridiculous accusations Tired of verbal assaults Fed up with your intimidation Tired of the lack of respect, and the mounting mistrust I’m tired of the tears Enough is enough Tired of being belittled, tired of the hurtful names Fed up with the heartache I’m tired of the pain I’m tired of being alone; I’m tired of being neglected Tired of reaching out to you and still being rejected Tired of the constant abuse, the shoves and the shouts I’m tired of the tears I am all cried out

Tell me it's not true. My vicarious love life lives through you and your poems. This is disaster. I thought all was swell. So, then, find someone new. I depend on you.
