I Fade
I'm tired
Don't want to say a word
Lost for words
Speechless
Like light in twilight
I fade
I am soul tired
Bone weary
And times wearing me down
I don't want passion or lust
To chase or be chased
I'm at the farthest point of a different need
I fade under the weight of hours and days
Just to earn a wage
All I want is to fade into the soft
Lean back into you
No words or few
Arms around me
Touches that heal
Let you leech away the pain
And draw forth the weary
Let the hours mean something more
If I just laid here would you cover me
Without texts or TV
Just breath
Soft against me
Would you take the time to bring me back to life
Let me remember when
Until I could feel again
I'm tired beyond knowing
Love isn't all roses
Don't want to say a word
Lost for words
Speechless
Like light in twilight
I fade
I am soul tired
Bone weary
And times wearing me down
I don't want passion or lust
To chase or be chased
I'm at the farthest point of a different need
I fade under the weight of hours and days
Just to earn a wage
All I want is to fade into the soft
Lean back into you
No words or few
Arms around me
Touches that heal
Let you leech away the pain
And draw forth the weary
Let the hours mean something more
If I just laid here would you cover me
Without texts or TV
Just breath
Soft against me
Would you take the time to bring me back to life
Let me remember when
Until I could feel again
I'm tired beyond knowing
Love isn't all roses

Work, oft converts us all into robots but it’s better than living in poverty !
Sounds like you need a good soak in a deep flower essence bath, followed by a deep tissue massage with essential oils before fading into arms that can hold you & your gaze beneath the ambience of sandalwood scented candles…💙

You are a trooper!!
And even better dedicated.
Tired and still yearning for that feeling of softness and companionship
Knowing you are not in it alone in the bump and grind
Hang in there!

Dear AJ,
Love is not always roses. Some days it’s only the thorns. I know I can’t adequately comment on how perfectly you have defined being so tired even your bones weep for a rest.
“ No words or few
Arms around me
Touches that heal” this is the tonic that will cure any ail. Already I can feel my shoulders relaxing. Yet again, you’ve written a poem of art! H🌷

Hey there AJ :)
I can relate, sympathize, empathize and just wholly feel the intensity of that wicked exhaustion, to my very deepest core.
I still reverberate from your vivid and phenomenal line of "Let you leech away the pain".... Ohhh My, how I would grasp at that opportunity with both hands of forever....
I hope you make your way to find some much needed restful and restorative sleep.... the kind that lasts for days.... within her arms.
Thank you for sharing with us-🙏🏻

Been napping off and on, now I'm up in the middle of the night. Lol, can't win. Likely OT thru to Christmas...
But thank you for the sweet thought, B. Just no rest for the weary here. 🌼

I spent thirteen years working long hours through the night and sleeping during the day. Didn't really have a life. Certainly no time for relationships. Now I have more free time, but I'm not necessarily happier. Love seems almost impossible. I can't even imagine it.
Keep writing. That's the best tonic for a lonely heart.

I can feel the weariness in this poem. I'm in the same state as yours though in a different way for months now and I want to get out of this. I can't wait to return to my normal routine. It's a lovely poem.🙂🌹

Well you always cast a beautiful flame here AJ. I don't think you will ever burn out of beautiful words. Still I could definitely feel the weariness in this one. It seems like there is a never ending amount of work and it can definitely wear us down. My work has me on a 24/7 electronic leash. The business is International so there is always a time zone working. That seems to be the way of things these days. I hope things calm down for you so you can catch your breath.

12 hour days get old, up at 4 in bed by 9. Blessed today, the computers went down and I was outta there. 😉😁

Ha, you sabotaged the computers did you? lol.
So few things can be done without computers any more. The whole world would stop if all the computers went down.
