Tired

I stare into the abyss of a cracked mirror Into the gateway to my soul I find only ashes Not a single ember remains No hope of rekindling those flames Just a barren field, cold and dark I stumble through days now Weeks pass each time I glance From this stack of paper I bury myself in Exhaustion bleeds through the creases In the corners of my empty eyes Tired, this domicile is already vacant The owner packed up one day Never saying where he was going And just left No bills were payed So the lights just went out Left collecting dust Past hoping the tenant returns Waiting patiently for condemnation For the wrecking ball to swing To and fro Eagerly and Anxiously awaiting The first strike Walls crash down Boards crack and give way Bricks soar through the air As shingles fall in slow motion The type of chaos That is pure freedom Freedom from keeping these walls up For so long with nothing to keep them up for That type of empty purposelessness Destroys and rots the insides Leaves you so tired Just so damn tired
