HIV Momma

by Angelo White
(Waukegan/Chicago, IL)

You left me hurting, and now I'm dying and how I wish I wasn't here in this life. You promised you'd not cheat again real clear and now you've broken the trust, again to my disgust. I'm taking drugs to stay alive, you infected me. You hurt my heart and disconnected it, hurt my fetus you infected it, My mom and dad are affected by it, my friends are affected and I'm rejected. HIV is taking me for a dive, and I just want to stay alive, never forsaking not one day of torture this HIV is really serious not a game for the curious. Sucking my life down to the bone, is this what you meant on the phone, "You said you loved me", "Is this love to slowly kill me, this is not really real, you feel me". I'm angry and I've grown to hate you, HELL yes, I'm trying to berate you, you're going to hell, I can tell you.
