Exhaustion settles deep within my bones
Forcing them to ache from the sheer weight of it all
As they drag this near lifeless human form from her bed
The eerie glow of the monitor strains at my eyes
Washes my t-shirt in its light alone
My hands shake as I violently type out what remains
Running to the bathroom on feet with no direction
A ghost flitting from room to room
Feet pushing hard onto the linoleum with no sensation
Quick yanked over my wet mop
A hand-dye tee
I sure did love him then
Didn’t I?
Sleeping still eludes me
Even though now there is nothing to keep me up
But that person in side my head
That never fails to stop finding things for me to think about
I am caring for a basil plant now
Not even mine I just lucked out with a patch of rocks that gets all the sun
Herbs could desire
I pluck off all the dead leaves
Water it daily
Make sure all the leaves can turn their faces towards the rays
Today is dress up day
Get out of bed
Put on your Lady face
Try again
