Bits and Pieces VI

I have been screaming for years 
and no one has ever heard me.
They told me:
"Pour your heart into everything that you do"
So I poured
and poured
and poured.
Now I'm running on empty...
Sorry I wasn't enough.
Sorry I was too much.
Some days it hurts a lot.
On others, it hurts a little less.
I know I should crumble for better reasons.
But when I turned, you burned me.
I don't know why that was surprising.
Now all of my skin is peeling.
And that's the tragedy of living.
I want to say
"Don't leave me."
But I can't do it.
Not. Again.
I am so tired of begging people to love me.
