Clockwork

I'm really just sad
I know I won't see you tomorrow
and I wish my insides
didn't feel like the walls were tearing
themselves away two layers at a time
I thought a smoothie would help
-and it did-
temporarily
but now it hurts too
and I feel I could throw-up
I feel like it would do me a world of good
to have a big cry
full flood
emotional outburst
but I can't seem to help draw that response
out of myself
Isn't this just a bunch of
keeping out and keeping in?
but nothing is as I would have it be
I asked for something
and feel needy
but I care more
that you might feel bad
because you couldn't do what I asked
and I know you care
and love me
