THANK YOU

I was afflicted, my pain I couldn’t contain

I became dejected, my sorrows wouldn’t be consoled

I was heartbroken, my tears couldn’t be wiped

I became miserable; my grief never seemed to end

Sublimate

All I had faded away

Like a naphthalene ball, they evaporated

In my nothingness, the black gloom became my sole comfort

No more

My material possessions, all gone

But those I cared not

To my companions, I became the Spanish Flu

My very presence they avoided

To those I loved; I thought it was mutual

I became ammonia, mixed with rotten egg

A pungent smell they had to reject

Never did I know, that love was conditional

I must have been stupid

Then out of nowhere, you materialized

Chasing away the gloomy black

Nursing me, I regained my strength back

And you proved to me

That sincere love is never conditional.
