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.
