and i am tired

'and i am tired'

i cannot stand your mouth 

the way you form your words 

the way your caustic attitude

reshapes my way of thinking;

thinking, or is it merely 

piecing thoughts together 

haphazardly

as a child might do?

i am so tired of existing 

on jigsaw puzzle pieces

so tired of you scattering 

the pawns on the board.
