a.m. wake-up call

woke
myself up crying

just 30 minutes ago

called and left a
sober message

asking
nicely
please do not do this
(I know what this is)

and requesting
please grant me
what I have so freely given
you
so often

for so long

or maybe

I really want you to put me out
of this misery

that lets me
cry tears
without a sound
in my sleep?

tears that wake me up

alone.
