Tired of love 💔❤️‍🩹

I’m confused… Am I not enough? Don’t I love enough? Each time I open my heart, I’m left bleeding from the touch. I’m tired tired of feeling too deeply, of giving what no one keeps. I want to escape this ache, to numb the pain that never sleeps. I once believed another’s smile could light the dark inside of me, that joy was something shared and pure, a simple spark to set me free. But now their laughter cuts like thorns, piercing my chest till the break of dawn. I no longer smile I just frown. The things that once lifted me now drag me down. I’m tired. Exhausted. Hollow. Sad. Why can’t I hate instead of love? Why must my heart still care? Is affection some cruel disease, slowly eating what’s left in there? I’m tired of feeling, of hoping, of breaking, yet still believing. *Tessa*
