Too Sick

You are too sick to stay up and chat about our days

You are too sick to have lunch with me

You are too sick to support me

You were too sick to drive me to class

So I missed it

You were too sick to make a lesson plan

So I fell behind

You were too sick to make us breakfast

So I did it

Too sick to be there for me

Too sick to notice that I am not okay

You are too sick to be a mother

But not too sick to live your life

You were too sick to be there for me and I learned to accept it

But I'm not sick enough to matter

I curl into a ball on the floor and can't move

I go days without eating

Shut myself up in the dark for days

But I am not sick enough

I will never be sick enough for you to give a shit

You've stared at me in a hospital bed and told me not to bother you anymore

You've just watched

I know you care

You have to care

Don't you?
