Exhausting

Is it?
Suffocating?
Is it?
Exhausting?
Is it?
Upsetting?

This endless
Yearning
This longing
For something
Maybe a thing
Or a thing
In a person
I can't tell quite.

But is it,
Exhausting?
Perhaps,
It shouldn't
Come so often
It shouldn't
Ruin my day
It shouldn't
Worry me
Cling to me
Like a curse
Of some sorts

This endless
Yearning
Longing
Perhaps
For his eyes
Or voice
Or hands

This endless
Craving
Yearning
Longing.
I wonder what it is
But this endless aching
I can't understand
What it is
But I yearn.
