Tired

Tired

A Poem by Jessalynn
"

I think this one is self explanatory

"
I’m tired

Of talking to the wind and staring out the window

Of sitting in the passenger seat stuck here in limbo

Of looking at the moon for answers I already know

Of crying with the sky when the rain comes poring down

Of trying to share my soul but no one makes a sound

Of feeling all alone with people all around

Of hearing you say I love you and knowing it’s only half true

Of doubling down and promising to love you too

Of lying now when I kiss you

Of saying yes dear I miss you

Of everyone saying you two seem so perfect

Of no one seeing I’m treated like an object

I need to sleep but I don’t know how

I’m just so tired of pretending now.

So tied….

I really like the last word... it so fits. It is hard to catch typos as you write BECAUSE the mind "sees" what you meant to say. But also because some typos ARE words in their own right. In this one poem you have several unexpected but quite fitting word choices and one that I can't quite accept as other than a typo.
The line, "Of none one seeing I’m treated like an object" - none one?

But really "tied" is an awesome choice!

Poetically depressing, creatively dark.

Awesome read
