Temptation.
I feel you pull away,
drawn in by the negative energies
that swirl around you,
that threaten to consume you,
the empty promises,
that feed into your false sense of security.
I feel compelled, to keep you close,
yet I know that in doing so,
you will continue to spiral,
to lose your footing in this reality.
And then,
comes this desire to let go, the weight that pulls you under,
the expectations, that arise,
that feed into your insecurities,
Your fears,
they rise to the surface
and I fear you will drown.
The light that surrounds,
illuminating the darkness within.
