pain envelopes me
like a miasma
it starts in my core
and permeates throughout
I think of death
as my only escape
from pain or
religious treatment of it
my heart is gripped
in a net of splintered shards
piercing, shattering
until I no longer breathe
my body flails in lack
of verve, energy; I am
absolutely nothing
but sickness
tears soak my pillow
my lifelight struggles to flicker
I medicate to present myself sane to you
but I am already going.
I can't fight this alone.
