fall

my birthday coming up
i'm terrified that i'll be spending it alone
its been weeks since we've talked.
not even sure if you've noticed.

i don't understand why this is happening
i miss the rumble of your muffler speeding down my street.

your smile hangs in a frame on my wall
your laugh burns in my memory.

this is a mess
do you care enough to sort it out?

i can't focus on anything
you've always been the cure.
