Love Used Up

Ambient Patience

By Danielle MullineauxPublished about a year ago 1 min read

I realized that

what I was trying to

tell her

was that he

used up all my sadness

there is nothing there

anymore

my heart will not

warm up

and glow

at the sight of him

the sound of his name

the memories I have

of him

my future is so unclear

I guess it's been

too long in the rain

where I've been waiting

and I'm putting my hood up

and looking for

another way

in the dark

heartbreak
