A Terrible Thing


Somewhat recently,
not so long ago,
a terrible thing happened to me,
and now I've no where to go.

All that was familiar,
I suddenly can not control.
All the evil I knew as comfort,
now exhausts me and takes a toll.

Once upon a time,
through an endless day,
he waited and watched me.
Knowing always what to say.

There is no mark upon me,
nor scar or gash to show.
The terror sits inside my mind,
flourishes, and continues to grow.

He crept through the shadows of my mind,
danced on my lips, and stalked me from behind.

A terrible thing happened,
a thing not easily spoken of.
A terrible thing unmatched in power,
because this terrible thing is love.
