It had taken a while but she
finally identified the
build up of resistance.
When a battery
builds up resistance it reads as
100% charged but
fails under load,
she was
failing under the load of a
recent trauma
and no one was there to tell her it was
just in her head,
because in fact
it was in her head, that was
exactly the problem.
After so many months the
lust bug bite was starting to wear off
and she cried herself to sleep
thinking about him
she cried herself to sleep
between what ifs and what nows,
she could see through his
movie magic tragic -
she'd fallen in
pity with him,
she could
wallow mutually and he had
made her a casualty of his
personal war
without realizing and perhaps without even
meaning to.
There was someone else though
there was a safety net
a best friend
a brother sort of figure
for her to turn to and so
she did
and so
they grew closer
and they grew stronger
but there was still a
chip on her bruised shoulders.
She took even more supplements
and felt even more tired, she
fell asleep in the middle of the day
without reason and it
wasn't narcolepsy
but it sure
felt like it,
she was running out of energy
fast.
