a poem by Eric Campbell

I strengthened muscles for you
I did everything in my power to make it work out
I focused on the areas you needed me to
I gave my all and that’s why it hurts now
Without you here I have no idea how to readjust.
I aligned my days so I could give you the energy required.
And now here I am
At 6pm
With nothing to do because this is usually when you’d call.
And at 10 I’m
bored out of my mind
because this is when
Your head would be on my chest
And we’d talk about our stresses
So when I’m asked how I’m doing,
I actually don’t know…
