Chronic

I think this is the first doctors appointment I'm excited about
I finally get to rip these stupid tonsils out and end the chronic pain
But to me it's not chronic
I stopped noticing how much it hurt to swallow
Because it hurts a whole lot more to watch my friends go through things I don't know how to help them with
It hurts more to fall in unreciprocated love
It hurts more to see my best friend cry
It hurts

Illness is nothing compared to heartbreak
And I would take tonsillitis over and over again if it meant I could end everyone else's pain

Your pain has always cut me deeper than my own
These tears were never for me
