Feeling empty after loving too much

Author

It's excruciating,
Being filled to overflowing,
A bottomless well of love,
Yet no gentle hands to hold it.
Only greedy fingers,
Taking but never giving,
Confident that the well,
Will never leave.
It spill from every crevice,
Like secrets I can't keep,
Like a weapon formed against me,
The result of wearing my heart on my sleeve.

who in your life actually pours back into you right now, even a little?

i had to learn to stop pouring into people who only take. i started holding that love for myself first, even when it felt unnatural at the start.

i felt this way after my last breakup, like i had so much love in me and nowhere safe to put it. people would take pieces of it and i’d still keep giving, thinking they’d finally give back. it hurt so bad

I want you to know you aren't alone. we are all here for you. you are worthy of love just as you are. I believe in you. It's okay to feel your feelings. I am looking forward to learning more about you and your story.
