I thought I had escaped you,
Away
From your coiling tendrils of darkness

But you led me,
Astray
Only to drag me backwards

You never truly let go.
You just sat back
In a corner
Never letting me know

And when I had just enough sunlight
To feel a moment of delight;
To recover from the swathes of my memory,
What true happiness felt like

You snatched it away again
To see me writhe,...
