My Old Friend

My old friend

Ah yes.
My old friend.
You are here to visit me yet again.
I know I was a fool,
Carefree and happy.
You snuck up on me,
Buried yourself deep within.
Hiding
Plotting
Waiting.
And now you are erupting within.
I feel you tear at my insides.
Make me
Sick
Weak
Depressed.
I fight back to no avail.
I succumb to the poison.
The numbing affect takes hold
I cry yet feel nothing.
The pain is far too great for my
Human soul.
And so,
My old friend.
I allow you to take hold
For one who is a fool
As I am
Always ends this way.
Drowning in misery
With my old friend.
