When your loved one’s dying at your hospital bed
And what once was love feels more like resentment instead
When the pain is too raw so you retreat and feel numb
When you want to live but fear you're already dead
When your skin craves warmth but just can't handle the sun
And when your food won't stay down yet you still weigh a tonne
When you hate your reflection but you need from it more!
When you crave adventure but are too tired for fun
Would to close be to open another Hell’s door
And would I still feel I'm falling if I lie on floor
Would I do things differently?!? To get same outcome????
Would I love less intensely so to feel less sore
All I know it's a spectrum, different sides, same coin
So if I'd lived oppositely we'd still be adjoined
All our words, choices and actions, add up to soul's sum
Self worth’s not just good health... from illness peace is purloined
