When you feel something very strongly
As if it’s running in your blood
Does that mean it’s a part of you?
That it will always be a part of you?
Like we have the same blood group from birth to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or does it mean
How a disease takes over your body
Weakens you
And sometimes leaves a trace
Changing you a bit in the process
Every emotion
That you feel in your blood
Weakens you
And sometimes leaves a trace?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope that’s not true.
Because if there’s one thing
That can’t run away from.
Is what’s in your blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
