Tired

Why must I feel ashamed to cry?
Why must I feel ashamed for loneliness?
I’m tired of being frightened of words
I’m tired of being scared of them
Of wanting to run.
I’m tired of the walls that rear
When words are spoken
Because everything in me screams –
It’s a lie!
‘I’ll be there for you’
No, you won’t!
‘I’ll love you’
And I run.
‘I promise’
‘You know I will’
‘Of course’
Lies!
Lies!
Lies!

And they repeat,
Repeat,
And repeat;
Claws in my skin
Ripping and tearing

Every broken promise I was ever given
Lay shattered at my feet
And no matter how hard I try,
No matter how far I reach,
I can’t pick them up
And put them back together
