he let his bright smile fade away

hidden behind storm clouds and chapped lips

laying in his bed for hours on end

wishing all the problems would just go away

he let it tear up his heart

he tried to carry all the weight on his own, but it was too heavy

he isnt weak though,

contrary to popular belief

the weight just became too overbearing after holding it alone all this time

he dreams about a happy life

a life he used to think he had

before he got a virus that ruined his life forever

his heart was working to hard to handle this too

day by day it chipped away,

forcing it to work harder and harder to keep him alive

love is deadly

but those who love are not weak

they are the strongest people alive

because this is a virus that needs more than medication to heal
