Hot lemon tea
my throat is dying
so sore
wait there's more
nose like a running faucet on the sink
headache worse than you can think
my body aches
I wish that was fake
I have a hacking cough
that I wish I could stop
I'm really tired
body expired
won't you come dear
come over here
I'm sick but I want your attention
need your protection
from this cold virus raging under my skin
my immune system;within
I can't promise that I won't cough on you, or make you sick too
but I really want your arms on me
and a hot cup of lemon tea
