Sandwich

He begs me to tell him
what's wrong with me,
but it seems really stupid
to tell him that
there's no bread to make
a sandwich and that's why
I'm doubled up and crying
in the middle of the kitchen.
For some reason,
I'm going to tell him,
even though I know
he'll never understand me.
He doesn't understand the weight
of me finally getting out of
bed at 6 to make myself a sandwich
but there was no bread which
reminded me that there was
no nothing in my life.
He just doesn't see
a future where there's always bread,
like I do
Maybe that's what's really wrong with me.
All I wanted was a sandwich,
but I can never have that.
I don't tell him this, though.
I just say "There's no bread,"
and go back to my room
and shut the door.
