The Sickness Poem by angelica dela cruz

The Sickness



Burning,
slashing in me;
it festers,
filled with black
intent.
It seeks to destroy.
An infection;
it spreads,
viral in
my too mortal body.
Heat, burning up
in me.
Letting go.
There is no
respite.
Vision fades,
dark spots growing,
like ink in water.
