infection

a haunting in the silence
insisting on a takeover
a twisting unkindness
harnessing many different forms
its hatred burrows inside,
burning
its lust consumes the body,
tempting
its trickery induces hope,
misleading
slithering over the surface
injecting a venom so powerful
it pushes from within
and outside, it suffocates
a wild entanglement
that appeared so wonderfully
mouth-watering
weakens at a mere glance
and crumbles at a touch
