Burned Out.

Writer's picture: Simple thoughtsSimple thoughts

Updated: Oct 16, 2024

As if an abandoned candle left on

a window seal, growing cold from

the cool, harsh winds.


As if someone attempting to light

a wickless candle.



As if walking up to a homeless man

begging him for money, knowing he

will leave you too, empty handed.


I am mentally and emotionally drained.

My heart and mind are at a loss for words.


I question why I was vulnerable when

all it led to was just another dead end.

I once knew what I wanted but now I

haven't got a clue.


When I lift my head and see the vast,

blue, beautiful skies, all I see are

grey clouds and a lot of empty space.

I knew my mouth could frown but I

did not know my heart was capable

to frown too.


I struggle daily fighting against not

accepting the truth that you are no

longer a part of my life anymore. It

feels as if we never met. As if a candle

candle burning for hours, then within

seconds diminished after one big blow.


I refuse to process this because I

cannot handle it. My health does not have

the capacity to process anymore pain,

stress, or loss at this time in my life. For the

last couple of months have been drenched in it.


How can something so good,

happy, and beautiful dissipate

so fast?


It hurts me how you gave up on us.

It hurts me how you haven't reached out once.

A part of me wishes you'd just pick up the

phone and call me or show up on your motorcycle,

begging for us to get back together, but I tell myself

this is foolish because I know you won't do either.


Another part of me doesn't want you to

because it has already been unbearable the

way things are.


I miss your laugh. I miss your smile and scent.

I miss the way our hands perfectly fit together.

I miss the way you'd embrace me. Your gentle

touch made me feel safe, loved, and cherished.

You had the power to make the entire world stop.


Devastatingly, things began to change overtime.

Compliments became few, initiative died out, and

the L word stopped being used. I guess I will never

know if you got scared or allowed yourself to get

lost in the maze of your own mind. Regardless, I

wouldn't trade any of it for a thing in the world.


I find myself wanting to talk to you

often, wanting to tell you about my day.

Did you know I cut my hair? Did you know

I am still fighting against my health daily?

Did you know I am going to pick up classes

again?


I don't know where you are or what

you're doing but all I know is that what

we had, I never experienced it with anyone

else.


I did not know I could love someone

so intensely and loyally the way I loved

you.

My Condition

It all started with a pain in my chest. Not just any pain, but a constant and intense pain. At first, I thought maybe it was stress or...
