It covers me like a blanket I didn’t ask for
It casts a blinding shadow in the presence of love
It begs for attention
It yearns for my time
It never grows tired
It never gives up
Even when I leave
It is never too far behind
It’s a habit I cannot break
It’s a song on a constant loop
It is my worst enemy
While being my best friend
It whispers soothing sonnets
While its words cut into me
A little deeper each time
It holds me while I weep
It comforts me when I’m down
It’s a bed I never want to leave
It blocks the sun when I refuse to wake
It silences the chaos
It shuts out the world
And becomes my all
It breaks me
It cripples me
It tears me apart
It fills my lungs
It crawls under my skin
It seeps into my veins
When I least expect it
It kills me
Slowly kills me
It crumbles my very soul
Until there is nothing left
And there I sit
The dead
Dark
Blank
Soulless
Nothing
Staring into the void
Waiting for the beacon of light
That may never come
