Inescapable,

Crawling over your skin,

Feeling around for tender areas

Slithering,

Under your skin,

Making itself known

Looming,

You get this feeling–

Impossible to ignore

Every moment, not a second to spare

Indifferent to all that may be.

Rips all consciousness of present,

Bringing you to the land of what.

What are you looking for?

What is it you’re still waiting for?

Dismiss,

Brush it off as an afterthought,

All the while it takes

Linger,

In the back of your mind

Latching on your build

Erode,

No, not the crawling–

But you.

Inescapable.

Inharmonious coexistence,

Ceaseless draining.
