Contagious.A Poem by UsuallyconfusedA haunted woman, with an inevitable future.
As I scamper through the streets
there's a woman I happen to meet my eyes squint at her fiery red hair her constellation of freckles surrounds the frown she wears Like a soulless corpse she walks in a gown for the sick, no shoes nor socks I bring my head to her shoulder the warmth of my own becomes colder Craning her neck to meet my gaze the woman can't seem to get out of her daze I ask her if she's alright that's when I notice her pupils are pure white I step back in pure fear on her face glides down a tear no one else seems to notice her they all walk by in a hazy blur Suddenly she races ahead as if all her thoughts are consuming her head I close my eyes when I hear the bang her scream rings out as my guilt pangs I run towards her lifeless frame the serial numbers on her bracelet proclaims death had already stolen her under it's wing my pupils begin to intensely sting I look into my reflection by the broken glass my soul no longer visible, my irises no longer last my eyes widen in realization her disease will become my fixation
