“Call me back.” You asked me.
I never did.
I wasn’t busy.
I didn’t forget.
I didn’t have the mental strength to return your call.
You see, I am down today.
I am emotionally fatigued.
I am mentally drained.
I am exhausted psychologically.
I am physically worn out.
I knew you were down today.
I deduced it from the sound of your voice.
You needed me.
You required my help.
You longed for me to lift your spirits.
I am sorry.
I cannot help you today.
You see, I have nothing to give.
My cup is empty today.
Life drunk the last flimsy drops of strength I had.
I am a spent force!
