Jessica L. Morris

He’s always been 
sneaky, 
cunning,
and
witty;
but now that the light
shines so bright 
in the eyes of my heart,
he’s merely
a nuisance – 
like trying to read
without my glasses.
And, 
when I recognize him
messing around with
the heart of another
or 
distracting a friend
with lies from the past,
I just want to ask:
“Aren’t you tired?”
