My Legs Hurt

I'm running out of things to say

to the lady I pay by the day

to tell me how my life has gone to ****

to tell me, however, I should not quit.

I'm running out of ways to write

that I cannot stand the sight

of my eyes looking back into mine

the knots in the mirror when I stare at my spine.

I'm running out of ways to feel

the urge and need to ****

so I figured I ought to love instead

but all that disappoint got to my head.

I'm running out of trust to give

such a fact prevents my want to live

I wish more than anything

to feel at home again.
