It's all in your head
He told me this
repeatedly
When I mentioned something about
the text messages on his phone or
notes he left in his pockets
It's all in your head
is what he said when I pointed out his drinking problem,
his hangovers or
his DWIs
plural
It's not real, he said
feigning interest, I suspect
when I told him I was past depressed
past unhappy
completely miserable
Of course, it wasn't in my head
it was in my chest
all along
