As subtle as a gentle wind,
It creeps into your mind.
Futilely you resist...
It takes root deep within the recesses of your heart
And most days you don't remember it's invasion;
Lulled into a false sense of security...
By and by you are engulfed.
Twisting
Jerking
Thrashing
Constricting
Defeat
Languidly
Mockingly
It fondly caresses you
A sickening farewell...
And here I am
Alone
Left to pick up the pieces
Again
