She doesn’t want lit another cigarette
She doesn’t want to have another cup of coffee
She doesn’t want some shoulders to lay her head on—
Neither she wants to live or die, not anything else she never got bored craving for.
All she wants to do is to sleep, or to throw her stomach up.
However, in blurry sight she takes grip on her pen—though it seems four times harder with all her strength getting dissolved. Her lean arms almost cannot feel anything but the shivering of her body, enveloped in a rather thin skin compares to her scar. Her heart pumps the blood in a rapid, inconsistent pace that her whole body gets confused—beating in the sense of almost in love, but much less painful to be so.
Her body and her soul are in a fight of rejecting each other, causing a fatal nausea to the throat. How shameful, she thinks, that the soul would corrupt her body into a skinnier image due to its jealousy for a healthy body. And the body, however, replied by turning the mind into a squeamish kind of idleness.
She had never wanted to be alone as much as she does today. Though, somehow, she has always been alone the whole time without her being conscious to it.
A few moments later, her suffering redeemed into a very deep sleep.
She got up at 1:30, almost cannot tell the difference between waking up and falling asleep. It was not the first time she got conscious though. A few hours ago, she happened to open her eyes but can only see the defragmented light from the ceiling, dancing convulsively that seems far away for her. Too hangover to wake up, she fell back to sleep.
But right now she pulls herself up trying to do anything she can to tame the nausea. She feels as sick as a politician, but somehow can hear herself telling she already got better. Her fingertips are getting almost as blue as the morning sky, and she won’t take a look in the mirror despite wanting so bad to do so. A devilish sighting is quite common for those suffering in ailment, and she won’t risk herself at it.
While waiting for the pill to work, she sits still, smelling only the unhealthy odour from her collarbone. Suddenly, the memory of a face struck her right on her head. The face of a smiling man—an intelligent, eloquent man whose eyes paid off all her pain in life. Maybe she misses getting up at such hour, catching his figure who would kiss her and embrace her within his broad chest. Or maybe her mind is only playing a trick on her, which she understands as a common phase on sickness.
At that moment she decides not to wait for anything to work on making her better. All she needs is what she doesn’t want -- and that means to lit another cigarette.
