I cannot bring myself

to form a proper poem
about your irregular pap smear
and the possibility of your contraction of
HPV.
You’re scared.
I’m scared.
You’re more scared.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Stay positive;
comforting.
Be comforting.
Fucking shit.
Hold it together.
Hold on to eloquence.
Need a drink.
Need a smoke.
No.
Need to hold you close.
It’s not about me.
It’s not about me.
But I’m here.
I need to stay here.
Need to stay okay.
Need to be okay.
Need to help you be okay.
Need to stay.
Need to stay.
This poem is not good.
But this is not good.
This needs to be okay.
This will be okay.
It’s not about me.
You will be okay.
