The other day
Where you loved me
Then you didn’t
Then you got sick
But I couldn’t see you
Once you were sick
And then you were gone.
The pain lingered
When I awoke
And as tears filled my eyes
And my chest tightened,
I descended into
Mania,
Panic.
I spent hours in bed
And then hours
On the couch
Incapable
Of leaving the house
Incapable
Of shaking the profound
Sadness
And fear
I felt in that dream.
The pain cut through
the core of my chest.
It seems almost
Silly
To have something
Contained within me
In a dream
Have such a painful
Reverberation
Especially because
It was about
You
And I don’t think
You even thought of me
Once
While I writhed in bed
Paralyzed by that
Nightmare.
