May have been joyous, except
The gentle wisps of pain
From my right shoulder to my ankles
And the numbness of my left
A quad of limbs partially available
A shade of ease comes to, leaves abrupt
As I blink into sleep
Wake up to palpitations, my heart
like a raging bull thumps
Wanting to a prisonbreak
From my now paining ribs, either sides
You call, we exchange pleasantries
We hang up, I feel no different
These phantom pains don't leave
Unlike you who has come and go
Ever so often, reducing every rebuild to rubble
But then
Each day is like your arrival
The aches seem persistent, yet
there are sudden moments
When they leave, nanoseconds
Or maybe my soul is flickering
Before it extinguishers
Like a flame burning brighter and flickering
Before it lets darkness win
