This took me three days to write):

He walked by dark windows
That were broken by pain
The glass that was shattered
spreads the corruption stain

The stain fed on feeling
that every heart had
the flow of the matter
whether it be happy or sad

Lit the infection
like fire to gas
It grew as it fed, on
Emotions from future, present, and past

He watched in fear
as it swallowed his love
home, wife, and kids
The things he'll never let go of

He stumbled down pity lane
and muttered out frustration
as he collapsed in despare
he thought without hesitation

hope flew from his mind
and towards the poison
but halted a moment
before devistation

The man slammed through
a door of protection
into a bar of narcotics
he walked down stairs of reflection

And as he sat at a table of hate
He drank from the bottle his rage
surrounded by people of selfish greed
they focus their attention on stage.

She sat on a stool
with no emotion in sight
she picked up a sword
with a ghastly light

as she stood in haste
she tilted her head
the man seen fear
flash before the dead

the corruption was here
it was in her alone
her heart had been broken
she was happiness prone

He staggared in dread
and fell before her
in a pile of shame
he slowly stood sure

He held her wrist lightly
with adore and kindness
he took the sword of death
and helped clear her blindness

The stain halted for a moment
then slowly inched near
wrapping around his ankle
it was suddenly clear

He let go of the girl
and knelt before it
grasping it tightly
for gentle didn't seem fit

he stared into its depths
with all feeling he knew
and wispered words
that lit her hope anew

She blinked a few times
in confusion she stared
at the man before her
that swore that he cared

her eyes filled with tears
and she fell to her knees
He wiped her eyes
and with love wispered pleas

She had been engulfed
in the form of heartbreak
that tore soul from body
and made herself weak

The stain had then grew
and she gave up even more
she didn't know pain
until she was too sore

to cope with the feeling
the pain and the hurt
that made her unstable
and fall to the dirt

Then the stain spread
as she thought about life
she found the sword
and harbored the streif

She told her kids
that she loved them no more
then she pushed them
out the front door

She lit their home
with the fire and gas
that held all their love
from the present and past

He held her close
as everything fell together
she knew all along
that he would find her

She took his hand,
and put away death
as they went off together
to find what was left

Their kids stood up
from the back left table
and ran to her arms
that were now stable

The corruption then faded
into the hearts of the crowd
they stood and applauded
until it was too loud

the lights went dim
and the windows then shattered
as a man walked by
he was broken and battered.
