I am tired in a way

that an entire lifetime of sleep

couldn't cure

 

I know exactly where we stand

I just wish we were standing somewhere

else

 

there are people walking around with

parts of me that I did not give them

permission to take.

 

there is a piece of me that falls from the

tip of your tongue every time you tell me

you love me

from 700 miles away

 

you remind me of where I no longer

want to be
