I have a Disease…

I have a disease that is eating away at me. Now before you judge me, by saying this Dude is crazy! Do me a favor, just listen to me?

This disease which I will not name, has laid waste to my strongest muscle, my brain. Spreading its cancer -like venom through my veins.

At night, it speaks to me, planting seeds into my psyche. Telling me that she loves the idea of you, but not you. Saying things like; you are not happy. This disease is so strong; some nights it cripples me.

Some say it is, just a phase, others say it is here to stay. Either way it is serious, and not for play-play. This disease can feed on a relationship, or a late night stay.

For fear of lonliness, this ailment may stay near to one’s heart. Forever icing it over, chamber by chamber. Ultimately turning my heart into an icy revolver. Leaving my lovers deathly cold.

This disease has plagued my soul. Leaving the place for love in my heart a vast hole. I can’t believe that my heart has this vacancy. All due to this Disease called Complaceny.
