It crept up on me
when I was life distracted
Cradled my head
like a parasite
It pulled me under
I didn't drown on first kiss
I made it out alive then
I barely breathed later
Warning signs ignored
I rambled. on oblivious
It basked in my darkness
I fed it the abyss
but that would never be enough
All or nothing
The way of my beast
A sick symbiosis
I much rather live without
