empty handed

i'm tired,

i'm tired and i'm fed up,

i'm tired and i'm fed up and

i'm sorry,

i could have been more

for you, for us

i could have told you what you

wanted to hear,

*that you were the sun and the moon

and every single star in the sky

that held a wish*

but i'm tired,

i'm tired of the nights

where i laid beside you

and felt your hands inside of my

hair, and inside of my heart

reaching,

it hurt me

i tried to pull you up,

i tried to pull you out

your burdens were heavy,

and yet, my shoulders bore the weight

for you

and now,

there's nothing left

for me to give
