Leave Me Alone

Leave me alone please, the disturbingly patient but truly sick woman said.
Every time she was mysteriously interrupted, she was brought out of bed.
After the six interruption, she began to get a bit mad and mean.
Very seldom had any of us experienced her temper seldom seen.
Everyone except her significant other should have known she meant business.

Maybe it is because he wanted attention, but he was her nemesis.
Every time she was interrupted, she began to get more and more wild.

Always by the same look-at-me-now-man, he was like a four-year-old child.
Leave me alone, please, she asked nicely, and sweetly time and again.
Only he was so needy that he kept irritatingly rushing in.
Need I let you know he is no longer bother her another minute?
Even a sweet woman like her knows what to do when she reaches her limit.

I have been sick for almost a week; I am unbearable.

Yep, it can get old, quickly when one is sick.

I have no patience when I am well. So you cannot imagine how little I have when I am not well.
