sick from/of sadness
is it possible to get sick from sadness?
i feel like i'm going to throw your name up all over my shoes
and my heart is convulsing.
there's fluid in my lungs that's making me drown and
maybe it's all of my crying that's finally done me in.
i never knew that burning myinsides with alcohol was
such a lovely way to forget that you existed.
except even then my brain conjures images of you
lying on the trampoline and laughing at the
sky.
and no matter how hard i try i can't get the smell of your skin
out of my ******* nose and lungs.
it's God-awful and i'd rather die knowing that you used to love me
than live knowing that you love somebody else.
jesus....i never knew that hurt could be this tangible.
