The Viral Replication

(Spoken Word Poetry)

Let me tell you my story

It started with love
Have you met Love?
She said Hi to me this morning
And I replied Hello
She recognized me.
Have you saw love?
We become great friends
We become attached to each other
Her proteins on her capsids become adsorptive
to me
Have you heard love?
She said yes.. and now were in a
relationship
The feeling is mutual
Her envelope fuses with my cell membrane
She even release her nucleocapsid into my
cytoplasm, in my life
I could not wish for anything more
We are so happy, the emotion is so grand
I could sense the touch of heaven here on
earth
Yes.. it was so awesome
But.. things starts to fall apart
How could we escape such an inevitable part?
If only I could..
But she started to say those words on movies
Its not you, its me

binalewala mo lang ang lahat.. and you chose

to break my heart
I still fight for us.. for love
Trying to keep that we are for each other
Putting effort to hold tightly
But.. shed let go
She left her nucleic acids into my cytoplasm,
in my lfe
How could I live my life now?
How could I start?
How?
But eventually.. I have to fix my self
Trying to pick the remnants she left
Using her nucleic acids to form mRNA
The only memories she left are used for my
DNA replication and protein synthesis
I make use of my broken heart to begin my
new life
I begin to assemble the products of her
fragments
The process isnt easy
It takes time.. for me
But finally.. my new life is ousted
I am new and away from my past
A new virus because of my past, because of
her
