infectious disease
I’m an infectious disease
Spreading through the bloodstream
Shutting down whatever I can
On the journey,
Making my way to the heart
Lungs
Spleen
Liver
Till I reach the brain.
That is where my true nature lies.
I like to watch you suffer.
The way you grasp for air
Sputtering away
Like a chu-chu train
Or an old rusty oiling can.
Spreading through the bloodstream
Shutting down whatever I can
On the journey,
Making my way to the heart
Lungs
Spleen
Liver
Till I reach the brain.
That is where my true nature lies.
I like to watch you suffer.
The way you grasp for air
Sputtering away
Like a chu-chu train
Or an old rusty oiling can.
