Ill At Ease

If disease were aware Would it look up from its meal, And look me in the eyes? Would it dab its mouth Removing any trace Of you from its face? Would it be annoyed At the interruption? Would it notice the loss And grief decaying my spirit Before its eyes? Would it feel guilt, Or turn away from my misery, And continue its repast?
