TIRED

I am exhausted
i'm tired of compromising for your comfort
cause your comfort no longer comforts me
see, i genuinely intend for us to grow
but i can't keep watering your garden,
while you so ignorantly kill mine
see, i see you and i see your heart
but your vocabulary is proving to be a murder weapon

and i, i am tired of giving you all of me
i never understood how much love takes-
away from a being until i loved you
the world has not been kind to you- i know
but i can't keep referring to you
for I keep hurting I
i can't seem to be at ease
when i am with you
and these egg shells i keep walking on -
of late seem to be walking all over me

i am tired of feeling chocked at the smell of your anger
for its evident that you matter solemnly
there is no longer room for my feelings
it's almost like i'm paying for your prior kindness

Like i said and keep saying, I am tired
For once in a long while,
i pick me over what you constantly need from me
and walking away seems like a pill i'll gladly swallow

Though i do wonder,if it ever occurred to you
that my occurrence lessens cause your selfishness-
is rubbing off my need to be a non-factor to you
and its been a while - but i think I've known being loved enough -
to know that these are not the relations i want to be a part of

so let's part-off on this off part
cause this journey is no longer TRAVELED BY.

This is based on giving too much of yourself that it starts to kill you but realization is always the butterfly after metamorphosis obviously..
