I awoke one morning
Way before Frank.

It was six in the morning
And the sun hadn't risen yet.

I ran to the bathroom
And threw up
My guts.

I was still having the severe nausea.

I rinsed out my mouth
Then sat on the couch

And watched
Reality TV
Until Frank woke up.

He woke up around eight,
I had been up the whole time

My eyes stang
They were probably red.
I was so tired.

He sat next to me,
Put an arm around me.
"What happened to you?"

"I was nauseous all morning,
I even threw up.
Am I sick?"

"it's just the side effects of your medication. I'm pretty sure."

We checked the pill bottles
And Frank was right.

I sighed
This can't last forever.
I know because

Frank told me so.
