Stretch

 I'm so exhausted. I have stretched my thoughts and feelings; mind, heart, and soul the last 26 hrs. I know how I feel, but it's still is painful. Tears can't soak my eyes and cheeks anymore, because they are gone. Not that they are invisible, just have no meaning. The salt is there, the moist, blurry eyes. Just can't feel them. I am so tired of asking why. Hindsight is 20/20. Maybe 15/20. It's way too late to feel like this, right? A shimmer, no, a glimmer, maybe yet, a sliver of light faded. Suppose it did long, long ago, but light is eternal. Does it fade or just go away? Can it truly fade once it's seen?
