Image for the poem a small Cut

a small Cut

It will be only a small Cut
 
I still can't sleep and I don't feel good and it's probably because I haven't slept for now going on 31 hrs
such a vicious circle and I am worried about her.

I stare at the monitor and then the sleeping unit on the floor
I stare and I’m still thinking of her final words to me ----
 then she went to sleep

And speaking of sleep,
did I mention I haven’t yet?
I AM CAPABLE OF SLEEPLESSNESS FOR 72
but it is not good for me to be around others.

I cried twice today.
I tried to cry myself to sleep

now I am considering
A small cut

Just enough so the red feels warm
Against my pillow and then I will lay in it

And Feel
What evidently I did not when
She was hurting.

Author's Note
an old memory. . .
I still think of her, every now and then, and how she often sent my sensitive self into an emotional blender ---- I loved her but she was not good for me..............
