Manipulation

They watched me.
They watched me as I burned.
Staring into my eyes as the flames took over.
Little did they know
this is what I was hoping for.
To be here when you weren't,
to linger in the ashes,
to possess your thoughts.

You think you can get rid of me?
You've only made it worse darling.
I will be forever trapped here,
in your veins.
Waiting to be awoken.
I cannot leave.
