TEARING ME APART

Every vein that flows with my blood
Has turned ice cold
Snow beats down upon my heart
Capturing it in a frozen embrace

You watched from behind the glass
As your heart injected me with a string of viral death
You watched as it began to sear through my body
Slow at first

In the catacombs of my mind
It began to grow
Tiny viruses attached to every receptor
Draining me of happiness
Ripping apart my insides
Drowning every other color to my eyes
Now all is gray

You watched as I began to rip at my own flesh
Though I doubt it was really flesh anymore
More of a twisted semblance
Of something that once was

You watched my mouth open wide
When I tried to scream
And saw my horror when I realized the illness
Had stolen my voice

You watched a helpless look appear in my eye
As I saw the affection climb up my arm
Across my neck, to my face
And yet you still only watched as I fell to my knees in agony
As the illness of the love you threw away
Stole my last breath
