Tendrils

It's a feeling

Older and more gray-white

Than sea fog

As opaque and heavy

As algae on a pond

The melancholy entangles

You in its tendrils

That tighten with your every movement

You think that if you could stop squirming

Stop pitying yourself

You'd end this symbiosis

And the beast would die

You think that if you could stop squirming
Stop pitying yourself
You'd end this symbiosis
And the beast would die

God I know this feeling so well! Nice writing!
