It felt extraterrestrial

To wake up without Frank

Next to me.

I almost forgot that he was even gone

And for a second

I even feared that he finally

Disappeared into the white

Of the bedsheets.

After I calmed down

From the alarm,

I looked at myself in the mirror.

I felt like a vampire

Every time I looked in it.

My skin was so pale

It blended into the white walls behind me.

The only thing that contrasted,

Was my black hair

And black eyeliner

And (usually) black clothing.

It was like

My body was invisible and

They were floating.

But I remembered to take my pills

For this morning.

And at least I remembered

To flip the pill bottle

Right side up.
