Ode to Allergy

Something has changed
Within me
A new sensation
That was always there
I’ve tried to ignore it
But it grew black
Aching my hair

Headaches
And Migraines
Upset stomach too
Flu?
Or allergy stewing?
Brewing its
Debut

Could it be that the
Nectar so sweet
That I adore
Has been causing me
Uncomfort and more?
I never knew
I chose to ignore

My friend
My companion
My java so warm
Betrayed by a love
I can’t take it
No more
I pray loudly
Flu let it be!!

  5. I'd rather have the flu than be allergic to a favorite food or something. Hope you feel better soon
