The Disease I Call Love

You caught the disease

The disease with no cure

Thank God it’s not contagious

Scarier than the best horror movie

I pray for you

Hope for the cure

But I know when it dies

It leaves only scars

Wish you could be pure again

Wish you could be normal

It scares me what you do for it

How it makes you feel

Some learn to live with it

But only very few

Hope you can be lucky

Keep it close and new

Most have it ripped from them

It never truly dies

Lives in the scars it leaves

There is no cure

Wish this thing never existed

Wish we could be at peace

But now all you talk about is him

All you can see is his face

This is what it does to you

This is how it’s fatal

It destroys who you are

Replaces you with thoughts of him

But sometimes, God save me

I wish it was contagious

Wish I could suffer with you

Suffer in your bliss

I wish I could feel that happiness you live with

Wish I could have someone like him

Most dream of it since they were young

Most don’t realize they romanticize it

They don’t realize what it really is

What love is

It destroys

But it also creates

There is good and bad to everything in the universe

I cannot think of any example

More deserving

Than love
