as a pain
(just a small pain)
in my side
it grew
into a swelling
(but was it a swelling?)
in my side
then a day passed
then another
(don't know how many)
and i waited
and the pain
turned into a habit
a thing i had to work around
more pillows
less covers
hot compress
long baths
anything but going
to the doctor
anything but talking
to a friend
because going would mean
something was wrong
telling would mean
something was there
hiding means
nothing was there
to hurt me
and the pain stayed
too long
until it changed me
entirely
forever
