Old And Tired - Chumped

It’s noon but you’re still crippled by the covers

Another day alone

Because everything you love has either died or moved away

What’s the point in waking up today?

You have a resume or two to pass around

But it’s been blank from 2003 until now

Except the year you spent waitressing through the breakfast shift

You quit it quick because you’re too old to be treated like shit

It’s okay

To sleep away

The pain

Of being old and tired

He calls you in the evening

You talk into the night

He’s too far away to hold you

You met him on a site you found online passing the time

And it’s been years since you’ve felt loved

You left both of your husbands because you couldn’t stand the drugs

You don’t trust enough to let someone else in

You’ve resolved to spend your life alone you won’t marry again

It’s okay

To sleep away

The pain

Of being old and tired

Of being old and tired
