crucify

Your entrance of nausea and apathy
Depress the final nail
Into fatigued submission.
My sarcophagus welcomes me,
Lovingly lined in lascivious red
My Judas head will roll,
For insistent supplication
And reasoned denial
Of an illness as real to you
As transparent to me
As your sleight of hand.
One final sigh and glare:
Leave me with your cross to bear.
