_______________

My heart races.
The smell is nostalgic but medical now.
Comforting and unsettling in equal measure.

I don't have to lie now, I have an excuse to be here now.
The prick of a needle that should not yet be so needed.
The old joke.
My cue to laugh.
I miss it.
Then comes the question he's been waiting to ask.
I could lie, but
for the first time
I hesitate.

He knows. I know he knows.
Tears flow,
the pain of a thousand days and nights,
the numbness of a thousand more,
the sadness of a thousand again
finally free.

When I'm done, he hands me three things.
A prescription.
A number.
A white lie to take home.
