I have been so tired of late
Not really sleepless
But moreover emotionally restless
The thought of love
Love for another
Breathless and listless
Forgiving transgressions and faults relentless
While crucifixion of my own deeds and needs
How is it so easy to place worth on another
And yet feel so worthless while being selfless
I keep going round and round
A Dali-esk melting of sanity
There seems to be no right answer for me
Other than to continue giving everything
Like the golden goose of emotional stability
It seems to me that there is no right answer
I just hope that my love is not wasted
Or taken for granted like the air we breathe
Do not read too far into my rampant rambling
Tomorrow is a new day
Full of invigorating promise
I’m just exhausted and honestly afraid
Insecurities have sanded me raw
An unbearable grit upon my heart
Opening old wounds that I thought had scarred over
How much scar tissue will it take
Before my old injuries are no longer raw .
