This Morning

It caught up to me

By Abby GriffithPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

This morning it caught up to me,

Maybe it is the lack of sleep that is blurring this keyboard

Maybe it is the alcohol making me feel nauseous and unconnected

Maybe my back hurts because I slept wrong and my nose is running because I am getting sick

Maybe I am sad because last night was bust or I have loads of homework to do

Maybe

Maybe it is anything but what it is

Maybe its not that I miss you so much I almost vomit at the thought that I wont get to hangout with you again

Maybe my back hurts because it knows I have to do it alone

Maybe my nose is running because of the tears

Maybe I’m sad because you will not hold my child or be in my wedding

Maybe I’m sad because I wont get to do any of that for you

This morning it caught to me,

maybe its because of you.
