poison

Sickness
Confines me
Poisons me
Prostrate
On the floor
I cry out
But there is no sound

Only the despair
Consuming me
I must let you go
I must be alone
I am empty without
You
But it is how it must be

My cross to bear
I bear it alone
I will drink my poison
And hope
That my heart may die
And with it my pain
as well as my love
So I can let you go.
