THE EXCUSE

I’m just tired,

Look away—turn your head.

 

Don’t worry about me,

Or your empty promises,

Those words you never keep,

The ones that I cling to,

The ones that follow me wherever I go.

All the waiting I do,

The lonely nights I withstand.

The silent, yet lethal torture you put me through.

You say I look angry? (Do I look angry?)

Don’t worry,

I’m just tired.
