It spreads as quick as
Oil runs down a water fall
Taking over my entire body
I’ve only ever once felt this way
................................................................­..............
When I fell in love on a winter day
But now my body weakens
With every passing hour
I’ve not been treated,
..................................................
There is no cure
As the days pass by
So does my body pass away
What once was will
......................................................
No longer be
What once was me
Will pass away too
Why did this happen
..........................................................­
Why did I let it get to me
I thought I was protected
By all means I tried
I pushed and pulled
.............................................................
Wh­y the hell didn’t I fight
Like so many before me
I gave up my strive
For existence seems
..........................................................
Bette­r that way
At least now I’ll be out
Of everyone’s way
...........................................................
