sick

there's different types of sickness

ones that we'll encounter someday in all of our lives


one's the haze of runny noses, raw throats, 

wadded-up tissues and endless sips 

of sickening-sweet medicines,

a blur of dreamless sleep and cold sweats

in the middle of the night. 


another's the feeling of a broken heart,

a love lost, an ache that creeps up on you

when you least expect it and then curls

up within your heart and makes itself at

home.


and then there's a bone-deep weariness, 

a mind-numbing feeling of monotony that

carries on day after day after day after day

a feeling of quiet pain that you can try to

hide but can never shake.
