~*~Sickness~*~

I feel as if I've died
Drowned in gushing tears
Death has a salty taste

This takes my breath away
Frozen in time
Knowing only the ache
As it runs through my body

Physical manifestation
Of mental madness
Emotional insanity
Insecurity

I think I will call it,
the sickness
The little death
Perhaps his cousin

And this is what it does to me…

Makes me tired
Eats my nerves
Keeps me awake…

Afraid to sleep
Afraid to be alone
Afraid to be with you…

Sickness has gotten me.

In my despair,
I forget to breathe
