I'M Tired Poem by Julia Pascual

I’m Tired

Up until now, I never thought
That I could do something like this
But there is only one choice left
And that is to stay away from you

At first, I thought that I could make it
But it’s been very long since then
Things change, and time lets them to
I’m sorry, but this is also for you

This is the best solution I could think of
Though it hurts, this is the right thing to do
Please understand, I can’t get to know you
‘Cause it will only deepen the wound within me

It wasn’t my intention to fall for you
To be honest, I never thought of doing that
But I guess, the heart has a mind of its own
It makes decisions when the brain cannot

If only I could take my heart away, I would
That’s the only way I could forget you
But I can’t and even if I can, I’m such a coward
I can’t imagine a life without meeting you

Though I have to go away and leave
I’m still thankful that our paths crossed
To be a part of you is more than I could wish for
To be someone you trust is beyond perfect

I just want to say thank you for everything
You have been my inspiration through the long run
But dear, nothing lasts forever, they say
Even a thing that makes you happy can make you cry

Aside from thank you, I should also say sorry
I never meant for the result to be like this
It’s just that this isn’t working out for us
We’re not lovers, we’re not even friends

I’m just someone you met along the way
Someone you never expected in your perfect life
I’m just someone who expects so much from you
And at the end, I’m someone who gets disappointed

I guess it’s just the time for me to face the truth
After all the love and care I have offered
You still wouldn’t be contented with just ‘me’
It’s now that I have realized, I’m tired

I’m tired of always giving, but not taking any
Tired of running and running to get your needs
I’ve realized every little damn thing just now
Simply, we were just, not destined to be
