Sit still, he says. Sit still. Sit up. Stop fidgeting. Sit still.
But I can't, I say. My God I can't.
(Too not comfortable.
Leery light. White thought. And weary, weary, weary.)


Sit still, please. You are making a scene. Stop it. Please. Stop.
My God I can't. You can't understand. You can't.
(You mustn't understand.)


His arms clamp down on mine. Why can't you --
I don't. I don't know. (Too much.) Let go. You hurt.
Please, just --
I can't.
Be still.
I tear at my hair. You can't know what it's like. (My God. My dear God, help.)

His eyes are red-lined. Please.
Why?
I love you.
Too not comfortable. I tear at my face. (Weary, weary, weary.)
Can you hear me?
I curl up. (Still. Still. My God. Sit still.)
Yes.

I love you too.
(But I am sick. You must understand.)
Not sure what I'm doing with this one...

Not sure about the true meaning you are trying to convey here.

Perhaps a little more ??? not sure what I would do with it.

Maybe just re-read and see what changes need to be made.

I really don't understand this.

Sorry.....
