Daily Prompt: Infect

Advertisements

Like a virus you infect everyone that gets close to you and you tried it with me but, I was too strong for you.

You would attack and I would defend my self and knock you out-of-the-way before the damage could truly do me any harm.

You kept trying and hoping that things would work out for you and I would let my guard down.

But, from the first time I saw you smile my way I knew you were no good and looked away before you could think it was an invitation to come my way.

It was a tiring battle to keep fighting but, I knew I couldn’t let you win for this was my life and my decision to live a life that felt right and healthy.
