RELATIONSHIPS

Turkish Memories

Poetry

Exhausted Like your burning sausage I’m tired of having to justify every choice I make To make your ego not feel what’s at stake You’re a rake A painful tool collecting the leaves You’re an irritation Like the old, used, hair in my weave

Stop making it seem like you’re the good guy Stop making it seem like you’re the only guy You’re a fool, and you’re a drag You make me feel like I’m unworthy like a dirty rag

I need to let go, but I keep coming back But I think this needs to be it I don’t think we can stay in tack

For the first time, I truly feel alone For the first time, I need to go to a different home But I have no home without you So, for now, I’m stuck with you Even though all you do is make me feel blue

We hide behind the mundane We hide behind the profane We hide behind our masks of fortune and fame But all we really have is nothing but an empty lane
