43 hours pass
12 aspirin
35 minutes of sleep
10,000 tears
1 pillow, turned over
100 times
1 bed
2 couches
2 floors
1 quilt
100 ice cubes melted in
20 glasses of water
0 phone calls
1 letter, torn apart
2 letters, left unopened
2 hands wringing with sweat
5 hard swallows
10,000 tears
No relief
No consolation
No direction to turn
A million excuses
No way to stop another
10,000 tears
