I looked forward with great expectation,
In anticipation I dreamt,
For months I put shoulder to the wheel,
My heart ached long;
At last, it's here, can feel it all around,
The season of love,
The season of sharing,
Surrounded by fluffy whites;
But alas! A big blow,
Oh, what a way to shatter,
A memorable affair,
Together, with the one and only;
This silent killer,
Life taker,
Dream murderer,
Virus from the pit of hell;
Forced to stay indoors,
Away from love or friendship,
Conversing with the inanimate,
Same routine day and night;
Video calls only go that far,
They don't show beyond the edges,
How do I know, for real,
That you, also, are there alone?
Come away, Coronavirus!
Leave, now, so I can be,
With the one that I love,
Hurry, be on your way!
