My Demon

It
Follows me
With its cold
Breath
And terrifyingly 
Graceful
Flight

It
Haunts me
Contaminates
My thoughts
Seeping
Into 
My heart

My demon
Never leaves
As
It slowly
Tortures me
Into a never ending spiral
Of insanity

This poem is a quick read, but not an easy read. I am sure you had to really think about it as this makes so much sense. A nice write, Ally. Good job!
