So Sick

Holly Day

I am becoming nothing
his hand moves across me and
falls right through
to the blankets beneath me
he doesn’t even notice

that I am becoming nothing
people meet my gaze as I walk
down the street meet my eyes
unchanging more fixed
on the fire trucks behind me
I am a ghost invisible I am

I am becoming nothing
nobody notices as I sit at my desk
grinding my teeth trying not to feel
it all falls inside me shrinks
to nothing push down the memories
the dreams the years passing by

ball them up and hide them in a place
deep inside me where
no one will see them
inside me where outside me
I am becoming
nothing nothing nothing nothing
