This awful need
Crawls through
Every fiber of my being
Clutching me
By the throat,
Causing me to gasp
With it’s all consuming power.
It’s shadow,
Hovers over me
Blocking out the light,
Until all I see
Is the darkness.
Will I ever find the weapon
To destroy this intruder?
Does one exist?
Will I wake one day and find
That it’s only power
Was in my fear?
Will I overcome and escape
Or will I continue to live
forever,
With this awful need? |
Submission Name: Awful Need
