Ulcer

A Poem

You get this painstaking feeling in your gut

Not even uttering a word

But typing a message

Anxiety follows you

Nipping at your neck and

Sinking into your teeth

The pain is relentless as he kisses another

Her breasts pop out

Begging for attention

But you stand there and

Feel a balloon nearly burst inside you

But you wait for him

And you watch him

And hope he’s going to come for you

Which he does

And only leaves you with an infection

The anxiety attacks

Like an ulcer destroying your gut

You see him

And you yearn

And the ulcer grows bigger

You want him

You see him move on

No pain haunts him like yours

But still you wait

Although you know what you had is gone
