Dis ease
It seeps beyond your body
Into our shared lives
Makingsimplethingsdifficult
We are in a
L o n g g o o d b y e
Embrace
I want to hold you, push you away
Arguments
Your tongue liquid in your mouth
You convinced you said mortgage
Me convinced you said month
Communication
Copulation
Caring
Down
The
Commode
We are in a
L o n g g o o d b y e
Embrace
I want to take your disease, dis ease, and swallow it
It
Eats
You
Instead
