pulling me gently
into a quagmire
not in a quicksand way
but slowly 
methodically
sneakily
steadily
until I disappear
into wet cement
forgetting
I ever
was

Oooooooh scary - sounds like Schwarzenegger when he drops into red hot fire in the Terminator and disappears, but he does say - I'll be back! Great write, Hugs, Jennifer.

It's like boiling a frog. He will just stay and die as you slowly raise the temperature. Have a great day my friend.
