after a manic morning
a disastrous afternoon
came flying in
giving me its deadly kiss
on the 4head
cold, I feel it
stigmatized
with nothing left
2 brace myself
but the knowledge
that time will wear away
all the wounds
even the ones that aren’t
leaving / leaving
only scars
that aren’t / that aren’t
leaving me / leaving me
with nothing left
but the suffering.

Like an illness, an incurable disease
even without a remedy
2 remove the pain
of unknown extent & uncertain cause
like a virus
art thou / are U
leaving me
with nothing
but -
not even having left me
with -
the knowledge of who
U are / U are
like a virus.
