i am sick,

sick with myself,

of myself,

for myself.

and i,

need medicine.

you are my medicine,

my cure,

my hope.

but i,

i am your end.

your sadness,

your loss,

and your love.

and its tragic,

and beautiful in a way.

that i could be so sick ,

and you so not,

and for you too love

one as i.

and risk

trying to resurrect,

an already quickly sinking ship.
