Pulling

My next appointment
You say
Need not be so soon.

The medication
Is working well.

Come back
If I feel unwell
Or notice new
Side-effects.

Call
If I run out
Of medication.

I feel a pull
As you step
Clinically away,
Like a bandage
Coming free,
Even though
You are proud
And completely
Agree
About the way I feel.
