Fever Dream

I’m sick I’m writing this in a fever dream I can see you laying here with me But it’s you who’s sweaty You’re so pale and burning up Your eyes are rolling back behind their warm blankets You’re probably having the craziest dream You probably see me laying there Across from you Sweating Squirming Suffering I bet that hurts you to see After all, You so patiently taught me self care But then you were gone Now open your eyes Look at me Listen You look pretty bad I don’t care
