What Now

It feels like it’s over
it has felt this way for awhile
as if the letters between A and Z
are tired of being called upon
to sit next to each other
in a book that no longer wishes to open
but refuses to close
and that is the scariest part of this story
how it continues without a plot
even after the final word meets its period
so on behalf of the curious and the empty
I must know if this is it
is this all my eyes were meant to see
just tell me
whisper it in my ear as I sleep
write it in the stars across the sky
spell it out in my morning cereal
just tell me
what now
what am I supposed to do now
because it feels like it’s over
and it has felt this way for awhile.
