Beast

Why does this hell pursue me?

What do I have that it wants?

Why must it suck every drop of happiness from my soul?

Does it thrive on my misery?

Do my tears sustain its existance?

Does it feed upon my flowing blood?

It is a creature all its own

Never does it cease, never is it quenched

It feeds upon me always

Draining me, killing me

Rendering me lifeless

But it is a cruel beast

Which hides at times

Waiting for my hopes to return

And just as I think all is well

It returns me to the mental hell

And feeds on me forever more

Even as I lay lifeless and cold

It drains every bit of strength

And waits

For it knows that will shall return

The cycle begins again

I need to learn my lesson

The beast will always win
