Ten-Minute Writing - June 25, 2019

What's that throb in my head?
Oh yeah, the sound of your voice.
What's that burn in my eyes?
An image of you, not by choice.

I get sick.
You're the flu.
I feel like dyin'
You're the disease.

What's that crushin' my heart?
Oh, yeah, you on a good day.
What's that feedin' my anger?
Oh, yeah, you neeedin' to play.

I try to sleep.
You kick me awake.
I try to think.
Then I hear you speak.

What's that rash on my skin?
Oh yeah, your touch I can't itch.
Who's that in my shadow?
My, oh my, it's you, ya bitch.

God, just leave me alone.
I threw away my phone.
You're a shit storm of a mess.
I changed my address.
Heading so far away
Done with you yesterday.
But until then,
I'm racing to the end,

Of... this... goddamn... planet...
