Itch

Old familiar tempting itch 
Creeping on me inch by inch
Old ways coming back to me
Demons I can finally truly see
Haunting me like a disturbed ghost
I truly fear myself now the very most 
Go away from me leave me be
Pretending you I no longer see
I wonder can you really feel me in you
Can you see through lies to what's true 
Waiting on me to give you a sign 
Without you there I believe I'm doing fine
I don't need you I never did
You weren't there when I hid
From the world to escape reality
You just shrouded me in false fantasy
I no longer feel the want for you
I realize now I was just being a fool
Rage building up inside of me 
Ignoring lies I no longer see
