Disease

Dis ease
It seeps beyond your body
Into our shared lives
Makingsimplethingsdifficult                     

We are in a     
Lo   n    g       go   o    d     b      y       e
Embrace
I want to hold you, push you away

Arguments
Your tongue liquid in your mouth
You convinced you said “mortgage”
Me convinced you said “month”

Communication
Copulation
Caring
Down the commode

We are in a     
Lo   n    g       go   o    d     b      y       e
Embrace
I want to take your disease, dis ease, and swallow it

It
Eats
You
