Virus

Hollow, dark, echoing pain,

surrounding me, pushing into my thoughts,

like a virus it spreads,

infecting everything with its tainted bitterness

I can't see them anymore,

my friends, my life, my love,

all gone,

engulfed by the black shroud that is my virus,

I cringe away from it,

but it follows, unrelenting,

into the darkest corners of my mind,

creeping, poisoning, killing,

I can't stop it,

I cry for help,

knowing no one will answer,

knowing no one cares,

They can't see the virus,

they don't know it is there,

hidden behind the mask I have formed,

For they would not understand,

The would never be able to help,

they wouldn't if they could,

my soul cries for a friend,

my virus stifles it

I remain stifled,

by my virus,

the virus I made,

The virus that made me

ugh,  not my best, but sure, here ya go.
