Drive Thru Poem

I knew I hit rock bottom
When the only person who seemed to care was a fast food worker
I rolled up to the drive thru at a quarter to midnight and he asked me how I was
I hadn't been asked that in what felt like an eternity so I answered honestly
I said, you know, it's been a rough night

He said well in that case you've come to the right place
And in that moment, as dumb as it sounds, I felt cared about
Something that I hadn't felt in forever
I mean sure I'd been fake cared about
I'd had empty how are yous asked through gritted teeth
Abandoned I'm here for yous placed out of pity

But if I disappeared off the grid an eye wouldn't bat and a grin wouldn't fade
But maybe that fast food worker would care with the fries he'd made
Maybe he'd wonder why my eyes were so filled with hurt
Maybe he'd ask me if I wanted a burger with that shake too
Maybe he'd ask me that the same way that I wish somebody would ask me
If I wanted a hug
With my shitty night in that drive thru
