Plague
by Curtis SethalerI am plague and through your veins I crawl,
I am a plague and I affect you one and all.
I change you from flesh to ash,
Leave you, Glorious figure of hope, weathered, old,
And Black.
Like a tumor I will grow in you.
My only goal. Despair.
I have no resolve left.
All people welcome then despise me.
Friends? What friends?
Leach like life takers, with greed in their eyes.
Wide eyed monsters selfishly seeking what's on their minds.
Who are you infected lost lovers....longing...
Romeo and Juliet? Victims for a cause.
I am a plague. I am a feeling fleeting.
I am what bonds man and wife.
I am a plague..
I Am Your LOVE. 05/26/2004 Posted on 03/02/2010
