Tired Thoughts
I think I tire of my brain
Thoughts keep racing around
From wondering I cannot refrain
I try to chain them to the ground
Will love you no matter what
It makes no sense
Each time you expertly cut
A hole through my thickest defense
The way you played me
A fiddle
Was too dumb to figure it out
I'll never understand your riddle
Only hypothesize what you think about
Looked at me
Those enigmatic eyes
The rest of the world faded away
Too bad 'hero' was a disguise
Off at the end of the day
The way lips smiled as wide as the moon
I would approach your side
Opened up my walls for you
In return emotions continued to hide
Stare sautered into my memory
A nostalgic chill I can't shake
Begged and cried a tragic plea
I still drown in endless blue ache
Hope
Home
So far from my sight
I give up finding my way back
Cannot navigate without light
I spin circles around a track
In soul lie pieces of my trust
Promises we tread upon
They'll rest forever
Collecting dust
To you I'm already gone
I am tuckered out from being lost in the huge wilderness of my mind
