I am allergic to you. It's just you.
You set me off in fits of reaction.
My head begins to hurt. My limbs just thump.
You make me want to crack myself open.
I wish you would go away, please… just leave.
I cannot stand you. I think I hate you.
You force me to breathe, to remain steady.
I don't want your company. It's toxic.
It must be. It must be. It must be true
That me and you are deathly allergic.
Otherwise, I wouldn't hurt anymore.
Because I am allergic to you. You.
You set me off in fits of emotion.
I don't know how to stop these allergies.
My heart can't take this. Not again.
I am allergic to everyone now.
It's not just you that I'm allergic to.
