The disease

COVID19 has really left it's mark on the world. I feel that the arts need to capture this moment and tell future generations what happened.

before the disease i was peaceful.

now I long

to reach

to touch

to feel

to connect

to embrace

but all there is

is my house, no longer a home

so i stretch my arms trying to sense devotion

but the disease has taken 

all emotions

all passions 

all desires

all lusts

and all I am left with is me,

the one way to flaw me most.

You conveyed well how. The pandemic affected your mental and physical health

Some really good observations here, and I love the double meaning of flaw. Be safe.
