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?
