Dying Inside

I’m dying inside

Can you see it?

Can you feel it?

I feel it

It is my body

How do I say to my love?

What hurts me within?

Is it my heart?

My lungs?

My kidneys?

Or my gut?

I’m dying inside

Can you see it?

Can you feel it?

I feel it

It is in my body

How do I describe?

How do I put it in words?

The pain is excruciating

It keeps growing

It moves momentarily

But it definitely expands

I’m dying inside

Can you see it?

Can you feel it?

I feel it

It is within my body

Is it the fear of losing?

Or the fear of leaving?

I can’t make sense anymore

Every piece of me is brittle

I’m dying inside

Can you see it?

Can you feel it?

I feel it

It is within me

I’m dying inside

He can’t see it

He can’t feel it

I can

Something in me is dying
