Sick

I'm sick

Apparently that's what this is called

It's not what's right and I feel it, my stomach clenching

But I'm already rebellious and they're already appalled

What more can I do other than keep pretending?


I'm in pain

It's clear from how I silently scream

And there's no one else to blame but you in all your perfection

I'm seeing stars and it's like some euphoric nightmare of a dream

God suddenly seems like a master of deception.


I'm blinded

I'm awash with the image of you

I'm enchanted in the most sinful sense of the word

You're in front of me, you're everywhere, you're blocking my view

Is this heaven or hell? I'm questioning all I've heard.


It's terminal

I'm done for, truly  a lost cause

In my mind too but my body is shaking

You my dear, seem to be the only cure

No treatment prescribed and nothing worth taking.


I'm sick

That's what you think but I maintain that I'm fine

Keep the doctors out and I don't need your prayers

Is it really so sinful to feel so divine?

It's perfection would only be increased with you being there.
