Why do you always come back?

right when i feel cleansed of you

thoughts enter my mind

creeping, crawling, invading my mind

skewing my vision

transforming me into a monster

‍

why do i do this?

i tear myself apart

scraping away every last ounce of my soul

forcing me to forget who i am

creating a mutation of who i was

‍

but then it appears

a glimmer of hope reaching through the umbrage

obliterating the terrifying creature

reminding me of who i was

who i am

until you come back

why do you always come back?
