Virus Keep Me Cold

[Laura]

virus,
infect me
destroy my wisdom with your detestion
make my pink throat red
and suffer,
bring me to my knees
let the bacteria seep into my incisions
unheal all my old wounds

help,
you stay away
and let my happiness evaporate
turn my white nails black
and chisel all the slivers off my sickened heart

keep me ill
turn my frown into a glare
let me die alone
just let me die here.

"let the bacteria seep into my incisions
unheal all my old wounds"

. . . . vivid, but I'm loving it.


"keep me ill
turn my frown into a glare
let me die alone
just let me die here. "

. . . Effective ending.

Good job.
