Plague

God, cure me of this disease, 
A ever-lasting disease, 
A disease of the heart, 
A disease of the mind, 
In which love-sick fools seem to linger, 

I have looked far and wide, 
For its end to come by, 
God, how I wish this was a lie, 
But now I'm amongst the infected, 
Blindly, being by his side

God, forgive my sin, 
The peace I once found in you
Has been conquered by him

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

A deeply emotive piece, Eisha. Your poignant imagery is striking and your last soul-baring stanza is truly soulful. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Thank you, I'm still trying my best to develop my skills as I'm still new but wanted to simply express my emotions
