I'm aiming for obstruction,
your lips are in my scope.
Pitifully,
the trigger is missing
and my bullets rusted.
Even if I had the chance,
'missioned failed' is guaranteed
and 'game over' is sure to follow.
That's all this is you see,
a game of infectious tag.
The disease spreads
from heart to heart,
blackening each soul so pure.
No stopping, no curing
No helping, no assuring,
We are eachother's sickness,
imploding upon ourselves.
With time comes agony,
as more fall to this silent whisper
tumbling of of trembling lips
falling
but caught by open ears.
There isn't practice of prevention,
because not all are aware.
This disease is common in name
but uncommon in guess.
Love is the ultimate punishment
[My sentence so cruel]

now this is a fate worst then death in some eyes, i think you painted an ugly picture but the frame is so beautiful, i guess what i mean to say is i think you just wrote something wonderfully strong and did it greatly, keep it flowing and good luck in the contest (is that even a word greatly? sounds weird)

I like this quote
it helps show the dark cruel side of love
And how love isn't just all fun and games
good luck
