Succubus

There she was
Everything,
Everything I needed
Everything I wanted
Beautiful in her every imperfection
A single flaw non existent

Happiness overcame me
Sadness withdrew
That was until
I learned the truth

Sadness made a full fledged assault
Mind unsound
Body fatigued
Life began to leave

It was too late
Under her spell I had fallen
And even knowing made little difference
I was surely to deteriorate from the inside out
Insanity is onset

Powerless I write
Hear me
