It Depends on Whether Your Conception of Time is Linear or Circular

Life left you faster than I could react.
How am I this empty?
Am I devoid of sympathy?
Or am I just too scared to feel anything?
I haven’t called because I wouldn’t
Know what to say.
I haven’t called because
I wouldn’t be able to say anything.
Your body was tired of fighting a battle
That no body wins.
My waking respite is
Whatever form the end takes,
It cant be as painful as this.
