The Trap

 You’re the pinch in my vein

All warm but misleading.

A friend in the dark,

My heart slows its beating.

My companion when lonely,

But you make my skin bleed.

A friend in the dark,

 You feed my disease.

Dear family and friends,

No longer we see.

A friend in the dark,

Your grip clings to me.

The life I once lived,

You tell me it’s over.

A friend in the dark,

My heart beats much slower.

This windowless room,

A prison, no bars.

A friend in the dark,

You’ve taken the stars.

You’re the pinch in my vein,

No longer warm, still misleading.

My friend in the dark?

Your intentions were deceiving. 

Alone in this space, I’m scared & alone,

He scratches and pulls at the beating.

My friend now screams with anger,

No longer is he misleading.
