To Those Without Migraines
Tiny pinpricks, flashes of light
Fireworks that refuse to fade
Heavy eyelids, twitching faces
Seek refuge in the shade
A throbbing, pulsing, stabbing, piercing
Slashing through the brain
Tiny inner tubes of white
Slide down throats to mask the pain
Minutes pass like hours, hours pass like days
Foggy eyes, weak limbs and sighs
Weeks spent in a haze
Food that creeps back up a throat
Lies waiting for release
Voiding mouths becomes a thrill
In hopes that pain will cease
Darkness, silence, steady, still
No smells or sights allowed
A simple clock, footstep, or knock
Makes every neuron pound
Cold, then hot, then cold, then hot
Then freezing once again
Masks on eyes, clutching sheets
Praying for an end
