Fear
Slowly drowning and pulling her in
eating up every good she has left
gently snatching away her confidence
making her a shadow of who she is

the awful demon has trapped her in
in the claws of his hands, she wept
she wept for he filled her with indifference
she wept for she was no longer at ease

He denied her love, or maybe she gave in
an attempt to act, and all she does is fret
now, with a heart full of despondence
she ponders how to handle so much unease
