Your heart is depleted from extending itself to those who probably didnt deserve it in the first place.

My darling, Im sorry.
I know how much you wanted this relationship to work and how committed you were to making that happen.

Youre exhausted, and your heart is tired and weary.
Youve loved so hard and so deeply so many times.
Youve tried to make changes, to make it better, to makeyoubetter.

To getting love right.
Youve written more love letters and apology notes than you’re free to count or remember.
Youre always trying to be better.
You continue to give your everything to love, and yet you find yourself still alone.
How can this be?
I hear you ask.
What more do I have to do?
What do they have that you dont?
What do they know that youre not privy to?
You catch the glistening diamonds on the ring fingers of other women and question whythemand notyou?
You just dont understand.
Love shouldnt be like this.
Love shouldnt leave you hurting the way it has and always seems to.
Put simply; youre loved out.
And yet youve only ever believed that the sole purpose of life is to love and be loved.
Its the reason youre here.
But that day never seems to come.
You simply cant on like this.
Theres nothing more you might do.
Its the only thing you’ve got the option to do right now: rest.
Rest your head, rest your body but mostly rest your heart.
Pull the covers up under your chin, close your eyes and let the darkness gently embrace you.
Cry if you want.
Give yourself permission to feel it all.
Know that youre safe.
You wont break or collapse by curling up in a ball for a while.
You just need to rest and to let your weary heart heal.
Sleep for as long or as little as you need.
Know that your heart is sleeping with you.
Eventually, you will wake and so will your heart.
You will rise, and your heart will rise with you.
But for now, my darling, youre tired and exhausted.
You have nothing left to give anyone, so dont.
Take what you need instead.
Take rest, my love.
