Headaches

When I'm ill I can't function properly, simple as. I was ripped awake this morning with a dull ache behind my eyes, which spread and intensified as I sat up. No going out for me :( and this headache haunted me all day, and will probably stay in my dreams tonight.

Influenza

thump, thump

the pounding of blood in my ears,

the pulse of pain inside my thoughts,

it pervades every crack (like the scent of lavender)

shivers, shakes and earthquakes

rack my frail body,

neverending attacks

made by invisible assassins.

hope is lost,

rip out my veins

using sterile instruments.

rid me of the plague

I feel dizzy and weightless, like floating ash.
