Disease

Fire.
Burning through my veins.
What have you done?
I've got a virus.
I can't eat,
I can't sleep,
All I can do is think about
You.
Where have you gone?
Why aren't you here?
Why did you leave me,
Alone.
I need you
Here.
I need you with
Me.
But I'm stuck here without you,
Fighting this raging
Disease.
I went to the doctor,
They say whatever it is it's fatal.
I have maybe eighty good years left.
I want to spend them with
You.
I'm too afraid to ask,
Too afraid of the change.
So I stay silent.
Hoping,
Wishing,
Praying
For you to come back to
Me.
Something's building,
Something's growing.
It's inside me,
I'm infected.
There is no cure,
Only a treatment,
What I need is
You.
It's your fault I'm like this.
You're the one that gave me this
Disease,
This sickness,
This virus,
This thing called
Love.
It's up to you to make me better,
Make me okay,
Make me well enough to leave this quarantine.
But you're gone.
Leaving me here,
To fight alone,
Until you come back,
Or until someone else comes along,
And my body is invaded once again
With this
Disease

I wrote this when I was missing someone special pretty badly. I hope other people will be able to connect to the piece and think it applies to them.
