Love Poem: Infectious

Infectious

You're infectious you know
More subtle than any virus
The way you infiltrated my system and
Slipped past my defenses
I fell for you faster than i realized
And it wasn't an abrupt drop, no
Not a sudden stomach-lifting descent into madness
It was more of a smooth glide downward
Into the beautiful demise of my solitude
The likes of which is now splattered all over the ground
You melded with my cells
With my being
But instead of destroying me
You planted yourself within my blueprint
Within my plans
And dare I say that in some ways
You made me better?
Hidden in my structure 
Lies you
I don't know if i can shake you
Or if I even want to
