Love Sick
by Marda Miller
It's giving me a headache
Take it in and breathe it out
With a sigh
I'll stay clean
You'll feel cheap.
In the afternoon
When no one is watching
I'll just fake it anyway
Because love is a strong word
That you pass around.
It got me here
And now makes me feel nothing
When you could have been enough.

"Because love is a strong word"
Most definitely. Yes to this, ma'am.
It most definitely is.
very powerful, more so the more I re-read it. *
Thank you so much for even reading it once Boudreau! I truly appreciate your comment :)
I like this Marda...there's power in it and resigned sadness...

Thank you so much Jules!
Love sometimes comes with sadness which makes me think - how real is that love anyways?
“When you could have been enough.”
Cuts like a knife, Marda. Yes to this sharp-edged micro on love and pain.
