infection
Tears are like pus
Running down my cheek
Milky and infected
My body is numbed by infection
Swollen and red
I am lost inside myself
Running with the infection
Stab my eyes, slit my wrists
There is no blood, only pus
Spewing out of me
Milky and infected
Everything I touch is shit
Ruined by the infection
It hits the ground-
A chrysalis
Formed by my infection
I call to you and want your touch
But you are lost to me
Ruined by my infection
I am only breathing pus
Milky and infected
My heart throbs sickly
My brain's worse
Crusted by infection
I can't break out to see your face
Too strong is the infection
I hear your words
But I don't feel them
Numbed by pus
Milky and infected
