My fingers are raw.
I've held onto a thread that frays more everyday.
My throat is dry.
I drink from your cup but I only choke on saltwater.
My eyesight is blurred.
From the contact our eyes magnetically make.
My feet are blistered.
From standing for you while you fell further away.
My spine is tingling.
From the injection of your narcotic love.
My head is swimming.
From tidal waves crashing against my shore.
My heart is broken.
From the memories of the person I thought you were.
