Affectionate Infection

Affectionate Infection

A Poem by Alice Patinkin

 Affectionate infection

Deep inside of you

Will you realize you're choking

Before your face turns blue?

Such an affectionate infection

Burrowing deep

It'll steal away your freedom

While you are fast asleep 



Threatening rejection

Should you step out of bounds 

She'll scream and she'll cry

She knows you'll turn around 

Affectionate infection

You've got to get away

She'll never let you move again

Should you decide to stay.

Yikes sounds dangerous! This is very lyrical, like a very light-seeming song that has a much deeper and more dangerous meaning below the surface. Well done!
