Here 
     in this 
          shimmering 
               light
I close my eyes
images 
     burned 
          on the back
of my eyelids

I feel full to bursting
     with emotions 
         so formidable
              blazing
they draw blood,
     sweat,
          tears

I allow them in
    like a dam 
         bursting
everything is swept away
and swept up
     I am 
          transported

there is no room left now,
every crevice
     and 
          crack
filled beyond capacity,
     beyond measure,
until I am 
     driven 
          below 
               the 
                    surface

drowning in sunlight

I can 
     no
          longer 
              breathe
for I am not breathing air
     anymore

This poem is very well written, and i really get the emotions you are trying to convey with being drained and feeling empty. Well done!
