Exacerbate (YDWP)

Inspired by and written for Your Daily Word Prompt – my thanks to Sheryl

Definition: Exacerbate – v. make (a problem, bad situation, or negative feeling) worse

Form: Minute Poetry

can’t be bothered, problems compound
silence the sound
too tired to care
no one was there

in words, the senses aggravate
sorry too late
with voices terse
the pain gets worse

“I love you,” says I am to blame
illness my shame
but I’ll beat fear
without you dear
