Tired

Tired

A Story by Kathryn Smith

Put you on a pedestal and sat you on a throne


I found all your skeletons


Your closet full of bones


I'm better off alone


To dumb to deal


To numb to feel


Your knife in my back





I'm tired


I think of you


Before I sleep in my sheets


I break


I hate


I'm tired




I think of you


In the morning when I wake


I wince


I hiss


My eyes filled with soot


My heart full of muck


I'm tired




Why can't I let you go?


My mind a slave


My feet so cold


My throat coated


In poisonous memory


My tongue bursting with words for you


But you're safe


Far across the sea




I'm tired


Of knowing you were with her


and her


and her


and her too


What was I to you?




You say you are weak


Guess what?


Two facts


The weak get weaker


Then they die


Or


The weak grow stronger


They thrive


While you waste away in misery


I begin to rise



I am stronger than you


For I could never do what you do


Oh Judas


I hope you can see


You are now dead to me





A shadow on the ground


A silhouette upon the wall


I will haunt you


Forever until you fall


You warned me you were cunning


and I should warn you


That I am coming


Running


Flying to you


For a Goddess found her voice


Her power


Her light


and Judas


You're only a boy


A boy who murdered his life
