Quarantine.
You have been sick for so long
Your mind wanders
Wasted muscles
Rushed away
Glowing forehead
Sheen of sweat
Quarantine
I can't go with you this time
We didn't even say goodbye
The sun is shining
Birds sing their joy at sunrise
Gentle rains have finally turned everything green
I shiver.
All is still frozen inside of me
"I love you" I whisper
Blown the wrong way by the wind
No guarantee
I will see you again
It takes my breath away
You have been sick for so long, but now you're gone
Silence lives inside of me
I still stand in the doorway
Unheard
Unseen
I realize
Self Isolation
My cheeks are wet
I can't cry
Until I talk to you again, what do I have left to say?
