Plague
I am your plague
this I now realize
You are a leper
festering emotional rot
All my doing
my disease....God I'm sorry
My love a sickness
infectious cruelty
soul consuming madness
with no hope to exorcise
defiled, it will remain
But how could I not
love you still
even with putrid animosity
my heart maggot filled, broken
a refusal to let go
again my doing
I miss you
should have never
let it pass my lips
my tongue hot
blistered from the truth
my tears poison punishment
force fed by my hand
Releasing you
I'm so sorry
is what is needed
don't know how to
without cannibalizing us both.
