Terminal Romance

My heart skips a beat when you appeared
arrhythmia, with rare ventricular couplets

My eyes respond when you are around
glaucoma abounds the pressure astounds

The sound of your voice is music to my ears
tinnitus echoes a siren's timpani song

The sight of you snatches my breath away
emphysema squeezes my air to a trickle

The touch of your hand is more than I can bear
your shingles spread to my face, hands, and hair

You are my everything always and forever
my affectionate end stage affliction of choice
