A Plague Infects Us All

A Plague Infects Us All

A Poem by Travis Prino

You walked away the last time today

you left me to bleed with my disease

and you tore apart my fragile heart

it was the only thing that kept me sane

that I held onto when I was without you

I've been living a lie

so now I'm giving up to die


am I the only one that you let down

with your empty promises?

watch me hit the ground

are you there for them?

cause you were never there for me

you were never there

you were never there

you were the only one I looked up to

show me the way just like I wanted you to

don't turn your back when I need you more than before

you were never there

you are never there


you walked away the last time today

you left me to bleed with my disease

and you tore apart my fragile heart

it was the only thing that kept me sane

that I held onto when I was without you

I've been living a lie

so now I'm giving up to die


I've seen your ignorance

it ruins lives

pretending not to notice

you are so contrived

I've joined the others in our fight to spread the word

you are never there

you are never there

stricken slowly we will meet our end

we will suffer more than you can even imagine

but anything's better than dying in your arms or waking to your face

cause you are never there

and you will never be there


you walked away the last time today

you left me to bleed with my disease

and you tore apart my fragile heart

it was the only thing that kept me sane

that I held onto when I was without you

I've been living a lie

so now I'm giving up to die


a plague infects us all

one by one we're starting to fall

a plague infects us all

one by one we're starting to fall

a plague infects us all

one by one we're starting to fall

a plague infects us all

one by one we're starting to fall


you walked away the last time today

you left me to bleed with my disease

and you tore apart my fragile heart

it was the only thing that kept me sane

that I held onto when I was without you

I've been living a lie

so now I'm giving up to die


you choose the light

I choose my right to

you choose the light

I choose my right to

you choose the light

I choose my right to

you choose the light

I choose my right to decide.

Just a little caveat to my writing, 95% of what I write are lyrics so excuse the length and repetition and don't be deterred by that. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment. more..
