digging out the roots

I'm just so so so damn tired

Frustrated, drained

Tired of being lonely naïve

Don't let them get under your skin

Too late

The roots are already there

Growing poisonous things that choke me

Making it harder to breathe, think, live

I wonder what's running through your head right now

Are you wondering if I've finally left?

Are you emotionally physically pacing

Anxiously waiting for me to come back?

Wondering whether you should send another message?

Fearing that you finally lost me?

This is the one thing I have power over

The amount of attention I give you

I still hold that, still control it

And damn does it feel good reminding you

That I need don't need you

And that it hurts doesn't hurt to walk away
