BUILT

I can't do this.

I'm not built like this.

I thought I could live for the day

damn the consequences

ignore the finale.

I thought I could love for today.

But I keep thinking:

what about your job

my wife

our dirty laundry

and the days between them all.

What about my feelings

and your lover

and all the others?

I can't handle all this thinking.

I can't handle my thoughts

beating down on me

telling me too many things at once.

I'm just not built like this.
