Maybe

Circa 2011. Lots of lovely depressing pieces from that era. This is one of them.

Maybe it's the leaves falling,

Maybe it's the distance from her,

Maybe it's the restlessness that won't go away,

Or maybe it's the lack of food I've eaten today.

Or could it be the cigarettes I smoked?

Or the coffee I didn't drink?

Is it the oxygen as it hits my throat?

Maybe I can't feel.

Maybe it's because I'm numb.

Maybe I'm feeling way too much.

Maybe I'm just ready to be done.
