Stop coming back around and making me not OK. 

I know what you’re doing as much as you do. 

At times they can just retreat, back further into the shadows of your mind. 

You can go days, weeks, maybe even months without feeling their aura, breaking from their anger, crying from their despair. You can think you’re happy.  Think you’ve escaped those bottomless coves you’ve wallowed in for an eternity.  You gain hope.  That’s what kills you.  Hope.  That they’re gone.

But they’re there.. Never forget that they’re there.

They’ll come back.  Suffocating you with their grasp. Drowning you into their sorrow. Filling your mind with their voices. Altering your will with their own. 

Softly coaxing Softly convincing Softly whispering Through your consciousness.
