how do you draw from a well that is empty?

i feel that everyone wants a piece of me, but I feel so empty and overwhelmed and i don’t feel like there’s anything more that i can give. yet, it feels like it’s required of me and i cannot do any differently. so i trudge on even though inside i’m screaming  

i really do feel that i can’t breathe. 

what do you do when a relationship has broken down and fallen into such disrepair and there doesn’t seem to be a way to come back from it?

where once there was enthusiasm about things, factoring the person into plans, prioritizing the person’s well-being. now all that’s left is a sense of obligation. 

this was never the kind of relationship i wanted. it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth and a heaviness in the heart. 

but there’s no going back too. i don’t want to go back to how it was in the past. i don’t even want to try or make any effort to do so. 

it’s like the heart has been stabbed a thousand times. how do you ever recover from something like that?
