Twisted Romance

Arrogance and romance
two things never meant to be
intertwined with drama
an all new hell let free

a whole new world of agony
full of traitors and lovers
another twist of reality
just like being smothered

yet still we keep on trudging
through these days of deceit
labeling the innocent
with words i could never recite

can you save the weak
from the gravity of this illness
forgiving all of their sins
guaranteeing an afterlife of bliss

overcome by this curse
i see you look at me differently
do i disgust you
can i see pity

i wreak of self-disappointment
i expected more
locked in this forsaken hole
waiting to hit the floor

agony has crept up beside me
she lays down at my feet
staring at me, with her gleeful smile
this fight i cannot beat

blurred vision has stolen my eyes
darkness is gaining control
this numbness is taking my life
even though, i know my death was foretold

good bye to you all
missed shall i be
and personally, just between you and me
i blame the HIV

dedicated to all those who have lost their lives or their loved ones to the unforgiving illness
HIV/Aids
