You are weary, I think

You are weary, I think


Of endless puzzles and games


And short romantic flames

 



You have grown disenchanted


With everything


Every stupid girl and foolish fling

 



You are bored


Of things built upon passing waves


Of all these conformists, these slaves

 



You have grown spiteful


Against people whining and nagging


And keeping secrets and bragging

 



And you are exasperated, maybe,


With all your toys breaking


As soon as you take them out of their boxes

 



It may be you are sick


Of instability and castles of crumbling sand


Of things reeling and getting out of hand

 



You have grown impatient


With cheaters and capricious ******


Who claim they are forever yours

 



You are tired, perhaps


Of feeling alone


And things aching through no fault of your own

 



I may not be


The sturdiest thing you've ever laid eyes on


I am little, and frail


And weak and pale


And I stumble when it's windy out


But I know, without a doubt


That for you I will be strong


That I will never do you wrong


I'll keep you from going off the brink


Because you are weary, I think
