Exhaustion

Few weeks without him an I got this monster in my chest.  He's no longer hungry for love, but he's a ravenous beast to heartache.  This monster suffers through darkness with me.  He huddles down, lays his head on my lap with his paws under his head, an when he whimpers, I feel myself fall apart. 

This black hole I fell into, leaves me feeling empty an this pain has become excruciating that the worse parts of myself whimper.   This monster inside me, the people who torment me are the problems I can't seem to find a situation too. 

Lately, I've been drowning myself in my emotions an it's a feeling I've felt before, but this monster has me stuck in exhaustion.  

I'm exhausted from keeping my head above water.
