Emotionally Exhausted

Written last July. It doesn't have a title,so i just used the first line. I'm open to suggestions.

Emotionally Exhausted

I'm emotionally exhausted.
These tumultuous mood swings
Have fatigued my heart
Lowering my stamina to love.

Like a broken record
We're going 'round in circles
No end to the problem, no resolution
Just an ever-going revolution
I'm getting dizzy.

It's time to cut our losses
before there's nothing left to cut
But each other. Ourselves.
Our tongues are getting sharper with each argument
We've discovered the places that hurt the most
By trial and error.

Trial by fire.
The burning passion we once shared
Has become nothing but flaming insults
Aand fiery tempers.

It's time to throw a blanket over everything
And put the fire out for good
Leaving nothing but the ashes of what used to be.

I've swept them under the rug
I've swept them up and discarded them
And I've discarded you.

Very nice lady - I can relate to this on so many levels - it's crazy hard to just let go esp. after you have years, memories, feelings invested into a person/relationship - if only it was so simple, if only it was so simple....
