Infected

It’s only in the darkest of nights
That I can see the poison
Flowing freely through my veins.
A darkness eclipses my soul
Draining all light
Reducing me to a shell.
Forget about faith and trust
Forget about love and peace,
You ran to save your life
And left me to die
In the city of the damned,
Where lies are mistaken for truth
And hate and pain
Are mistaken for love.
Broken dreams
Shattered whispers
A past forgotten
As I slowly take my final breath,
Succumbing to the poison
Taking over my body.
What a miserable waste,
Is this the true destination?
Is this really the end?
The poison is what you used
I’m at the breaking point,
Desperation is taking over,
I will not be destroyed
By this sickness you have inflicted.
I’ll survive,
And then you’ll understand
The true meaning of fear
The same fear you
Instilled in my brain.
Goodbye for now,
Run while you still can.
