Overused

Cliches reigned 

timidly 

through time,

sipped

by lips 

so graciously,

but now they creep

ferociously

past due

and overused.

I love you’s 

and 

I thank you’s

used to mean something too,

too bad they warped 

mirrors into

expectations,

now overused.

Bodies once rose

so gracefully,

strong souls,

rays abeam,

but as time 

seeped,

they shriveled, 

and faded,

too overused.

I used to be

much kinder,

often, 

I was a muse.

One day

I was so drained,

for I was overused.
