Metastasizing Malady

suffering of diseases

It burns through me like fire,

Hurting the healthy and punishing the weak.

It sticks around on some occasions,

and then spreads to my friends.

It takes the functions i thought i didn't need,

and removes the ones i can't do without.

There go the things i treasured above all,

and there go the things i never learned to love.

There goes my breathing and there goes my blood.

There goes my thinking and there goes my heart.

It captures my body

and ensnares it with death,

leaving nothing but forgotten memories and wasted regret.

It can be beaten

and just left to perish.

But then it just returns,

to kill with a stronger edge.

Time to say goodbye I guess

To those I loved and heald dear.

For this terminl malady has taken me,

and left me with nothing to fear.

Wow this one has alot of emotion and actually almost made me tear right up.. the part:

It captures my body

and ensnares it with death,

leaving nothing but forgotten memories and wasted regret.

it is simply overpowering the feelings in this .. sadness... regret... the things "I" avoid like demons in the dark! Great work keep it up!!!

Hmm... interesting. I noticed the poem's structure go from hesitant to perfect in flow. It's actually kind of cool to watch a poem settle itself like that, yet oh-so unique to see such a feature. :)
