A Case of Bacteriophage

I was standing next to the stage,
When I was hit by a case of bacteriophage,
The infection, the disease,
Took over my cells,
Causing me unease.
It bound me to the wall
I heard someone call,
But it was swimming through my head.
I forced my legs to walk,
But it could barely obey.
I could barely saunter onto the seat,
Even less remember my piano piece.
The virus was slowly breaking me up,
My mind blank, I forgot what I had to do,
But with all that unease, made me sick,
Infected by the bacteriophage.
