DEPLETED (originally written 11/9/2009)
like the memories flicker in my mind
so many people
so much given
so many promises made
none delivered.
so much built
on a seemingly strong foundation
so much gone
in a seemingly short time.
emotions, thoughts, words...
so much overtakes at once.
like waves they creep up
and crash over one another
cascading down from head to toe
a wash of emotions
feelings felt
so much in so little time
foundations rebuilt
wolves in sheep's clothing
eyes wide open
walls now closing.
so much of myself i have given
given relentlessly, with no hope of
reciprocity
just with hopes
to bring a smile
to the face of the one i love
to show them that i care.
but now...
there is no more
no more showing, no more giving
nothing left TO give
IM ALL EMPTY
this fort is secure
these walls are up
this mote is full
and im all closed up.
protecting myself from all outer elements
from all those who pretend to be friends
from those who appear to be real
finding the REAL strength
inside of me
