drained

my emotion drawn out and quartered
each time faster than it can regrow
emptiness inside
yet dizzyingly distracted by you
what I would give for your touch
your smile...
your warmth
just a few days ago
we laughed
now barriers seem to arise
obstacles camouflaged by the road
what happened?
from hot to cold you change
never stopping for warm
I have no more reaction to give
if that’s your game.
none… I’m emptied
tired
beaten
and almost done

was it just the fun I brought?
the joy and smile?
my singular quirkiness?
now, tired of it?
am I to be pushed aside
until I bring it back?

I’m not a machine
don’t use me
just to discard
