eclipsed eve Poet Rhyme

She's Sick

Someone saw me crying the other day
They didn't know me but asked if I was okay
I sniffled and said someone I know is dying
It's not perfectly true so I feel bad for lying

It's not an old family member or a friend of mine
But it's the me I used to know that's dying
I can't get out of bed anymore
I'm trapped in a room, eyes are the door

I can't escape the room that is my mind
The monsters whispers the only thing I can find
I'm a ghost again in my life
I was hallowed out and given the knife

I can't be trusted with this device
I hurt everyone, even myself I slice
Even when I don't intend to
I try to spare them from the pain, I swear I do

I push them away
Further and further each day
But then I die more and more
As I become but a shell of what I used to adore

Is this affliction terminal now?
Is this the cheery girl's final bow?
