My bubonic plague,
it's not contagious,
but it's a sickness
The darkness seeps in,
like the bad taste of a pepper
on your skin
It's awful,
and it burns within
The pain is so riveting
I can't help but stiffen,
my muscles are aching
It's such a deep sadness,
sometimes I can't feel it
It's as though I let myself be numb,
only for a little while
then at the most awkward times
I feel it all
