Cold
A blast your nostrils free to send
across your waiting vest.
To clear your sinus with a wrench
and leave you feeling best.
A graphic scene to be in horror.
Flemgh soaring through the air.
Then landing on your chest to make
it spread across the pair.
A cold to plug your system tight.
Congestion's heavy weight.
This virus breaking all the rules
a system grows to hate.
You cough and cough to clear your throat.
The air as thin as cloth.
You breathe and breathe to suck it up
while heaving in a froth.
You fight the fight to blow it off.
Your kleenex close to tug.
You hope and hope an end is near
and someone come to hug.
Till finally there's a breath that fresh.
To coming near the end.
When fights for days and nights will go
to others you will send.
