The fever came
A burning in the bone
A chill that shook me
Left me all alone
My skin
It started to grow pale
A whispered promise
A coming wail
And the hunger
Oh
The hunger
It gnawed deep
A silent thunder
Piece by piece
The man in me is gone
A shadow rising
From dusk till dawn
The mind unravels
A tangled thread
Living
Breathing
But truly dead
My reflection
A stranger's stare
Eyes like glass
A vacant
Empty prayer
The world outside
A blur of grey
Each passing moment
A fading day
They call me monster
They scream and run
But I remember
What I had become
A fading echo
A distant
