Tired

I'm tired of watching you slowly destroy yourself,

Tired of the pain that comes with your smile.

I'm tired of seeing what he does to you,

Taking away from the inside..

 

I'm tired of the hurt your sister causes,

Tired of the fact that she doesn't care.

I'm tired of the pain your father inflicts,

Tired of the tears left unshed.

 

I'm tired of the fear that never leaves me,

For the scars which criss cross your wrist. 

Tired of looking at you and seeing someone who once was,

I'm tired of missing my best friend.

 

I'm tired of looking in the mirror and seeing the haunted thoughts behind my eyes,

Tired of looking into yours seeing all of the untold lies.

I'm tired of being tired,

My only hope is that maybe ... 

 

Both of us will survive.
