This feeling,
Alluring
Consuming
Disturbing

Comes creeping,
Unfurling
Confusing
Unnerving

It holds you,
Unbreaking
Constricting
Adhering

It drains you,
Repeating
Deleting
So searing

You struggle,
Heart beating
Denying
Unbreathing

You falter,
Self-doubting
Exhaling
Head pounding

It’s winning,
Uncaring
Devouring
Still seeking…

Its mission,
Completed
You lie there…
