she walks in
says
"i have a splitting headache"
and then retreats
to her room,
too long sweatpants
dragging
on the floor.
and i wonder
if it's the same kind of
headache i get
when i can't stop
thinking
about the
past
present
future
until all i know is that
i don't want to be breathing
living
correctly pumping blood
from my heart
to the rest of
my body.
i wonder
if she gets those
kind of headaches
that the
over-the-counter
stuff can never
soothe.
