Haunted

You haunt me;
Threaten to take me over.
You stalk me;
Chasing me through the day
And deep into the night.
You see when I am weak,
And you are ready to pounce;
You never go away,
Even when I cry out for relief.
You will swallow me whole,
If I give in, even a little.
You are relentless.
You.
Are.
Pain.
