I am an infection,
A blight upon your heart,
Poisoning you slowly
Below the surface
As you smile at me
A festering entity,
Wrapped in pretty colours
That dance on the outside
But within?
A rotten thing, black and putrid
I don\'t deserve your love
But I take it anyway
Because I am cruel,
Like a smirking child,
Ripping the wings from a butterfly
Your beautiful soul
Is drowning in my filth
I want to stop, to save you
But I don\'t know how to live
Without my sun
