i am starting to think it won’t ever go away
the foundation has been laid too strong
sunken deep, bricks piled upon years
the feeling of my skin is distant from inside
untethered to my being
returns each night to lay itself across my body, smothering
i wrap myself in it like a cloak
close my eyes, breathe in the familiar weight
