Something That Creeps

This is something that

troubles your soul.

Something that creeps

into your bones. 

Eyes looking but 

can't see. 

Desolation raining 

down on thee. 

No amount of turning 

will loosen it from me. 

Sick from the pit 

of stomach 

and bottom of toes. 

Lonely nights. 

Days of woe. 

Darker than gray. 

So long the sun

away. 

Feeling bee stung. 

Up my hopes I

hung. 

Dark days. 

Darker nights. 

Nothing will again 

be right. 

Everything now 

wrong. 

No more suns to

dawn. 

This is something that 

gets into your 

soul.

All the lies you 

told. 

All the webs you 

weaved.

Me easy to 

deceive. 

Foolish love 

blinding me. 

Kisses sweet 

confusing me.
