Illness of Love

by Flying Phoenix   Nov 10, 2006


This disease it burrows
Tunnels in deep
Trapped my mind
Where the fears I keep
Are locked up fast
Held there alone
Whilst I sit here cold
Waiting for the phone

How did such an illness
Grow so fast?
How am I taken over
Not unlike my past
Torn and ripped
Yet altogether whole
These certain fragments
Are taking their toll

No one ever mentioned
How hard it could be
When you are taken over
Like he has done to me

Is this happiness twisted around?
Or merely sorrow tossed to the ground?

Confusion and loss
Overwhelm me here
Along with that emotion
I have come to fear

For I am terrified
Of that four lettered word
Why is this happening?
What change had occurred?

Doctor please cure me
And put me at pace
All I need now
Is for this torment to cease

So I lay to rest
Troubled alone still
My last words I utter
"Our love made me ill"
