Fever

Is it possible to die of a broken heart 
While you stand right in front of me
My fever rises 
You disappear 
My world torn apart in less than a week 
No one cares that I have fallen 
Should I even try to pick myself up 
Maybe 
Just to spite you 
And kick you in the balls with my recovery 
For now though I think I'll just lie here 
Exhaustion to well known a companion of late
See the people pass me one by one 
Not being rude or discourteous 
They have no idea I am here 
Blindness is fashionable these days 
Though I know I am invisible 
It hurts to be ignored 
Which makes no sense really 
But then nothing does 
In this rabbit hole I have found myself in 
As it is want to happen my mind begins to wander
Has everyone fallen down the same rabbit hole?
Are there multiple holes?
Personal holes?
My arms straining shaking under my own weight 
One last thought slips through
Will humanity ever find it's way back to being 
Human?

Rico Heather Crismond July 15, 2020 at 1:39 PM So did I except for the smile ;) My sarcasm can be rather dry I guess. John Hamilton July 13, 2020 at 5:55 PM You didn't understand his comment Heather, he meant that sarcastically. Heather Crismond July 13, 2020 at 3:17 PM What an incredibly positive way to look at the current situation. Thank you for the smile. They have been hard to come by lately :)

John Hamilton July 13, 2020 at 11:33 AM Enjoyed this thought provoking write Heather, hope this is just a write. Nice to see you posting, glad your words are not invisible! John Hamilton July 13, 2020 at 5:52 PM I'm so sorry you are going through this Heather, so many people are sick especially now with this corona virus. It usually has serious consequences for the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions. I sense that you are fairly young so you should be fine. I don't know if you believe in God, but I find prayer helps me when I'm overwhelmed. I will pray for your recovery. Blessings JD Heather Crismond July 13, 2020 at 3:15 PM I so wish it was just a write. I'm waiting on my test results 4 days now. Hospital conditions are deplorable and your treated like a leper if you have a fever. I'm trying very hard to stay positive. Writing is a wonderful way to vent. Thank you for your nice words.
