The family visitor

Mon, 11/19/2018 - 09:22 -- M.lee

You smell it in the air

Lurking trying to find you

It has tooken the life of your brothers and sisters

Your mother and fathers

It has infected the world with disease 

You smell the disease come closer and closer

You smell it in the guest room

They are searching for there Transportation on your bed side table

You hear it at your door trying to get in

You lie in bed stiff under the covers trying to hide

This time it gets in 

You hold your breath trying not to breathe it in 

As its tearing at your sheets you take the pack and throw it outside

You broke free

They got your whole family but you

You destroyed the cigarettes
