at night,
whilst everyone talks to
a fake, happy me.
I showed you
how I truly am
sometimes.

at night,
my skin crawls
and voices whisper deep,
pale, luminating skin
begging for something
I couldn't do.

yet, at night,
when I said what was on my mind
you urged and insisted
that despite this illness
I was still perfect.
you make the fighting worth it.
