I'M All You Got
It seduces me in an attempt to comfort me,
deceiving me of its true purpose.
It stays with me day and night,
wreaking havoc in my mind.
I run from it but its always a few feet behind,
"Leave me the f-ck alone!"
It smiles at my demand,
"I'm all you got."
It begins to draw me in,
I struggle and fight.
It sucks me in faster and deeper
as my screams go unheard.
I fight and beg to be saved
But alas, it's all I've got...
The loneliness that consumes me.
