Tired

A heart so tired
It’s beating is faint
More pitter patter
Than thumping
She wonders if
She held her shallow breath
Would it stop beating
All together?
Eyes so dry
She can barely see
So many tears she cried
Losing him
Leaving a trail of sandpaper
Within her lids
If she closes them
She flinches with pain
Of him in her dreams
But open
She’s a zombie
Walking through her day
Wishing she could
jump start her heart
clear out her memory files
move on without him
breathe deeply
and live again.
