breakfast machine

This is about feeling all used up and wondering if you've emptied yourself for others until there's nothing left and you are reduced to your function. -a machine

Is there anything left in there,

or did it all dry up and blow away

years ago with all those tears-

Balled up in a tissue,

long ago carted off to the dump.

All things to all people-

but nothing to myself

(but a horse and buggy,

"Can I help you?",

breakfast machine.)

Author's Note

Changed the punctuation in hopes it would read better and make more sense.

Interesting. Breakfast machine. I need to think on it.
