Infected

You let out your anger,

Your past,

Your failure,

All onto me.

Then you walked away

As if everything were okay.

Everyone thought

Everything was okay.

They never believed me when I said

You were the one creeping

Inside my head.

They thought you were so nice

But your heart was made of ice.

Your bitterness

Was contagious;

It spread like a wildfire

Until I became a part

Of the blaze.

Every time I say it's better,

You make me second guess

What I just assured

Everyone around me.

To this day,

I am infected

By your stabbing words.
