The Foe

It is quick. Without warning it infects my entire being. It eats through my body and crawls through my mind.  It is surfacing. Pushing at my eyes. Snapping and biting as it comes out through my teeth. Forcing me to bend to its will. Sucking my spirit dry leaving me incapable of resisting. Pressing my hand to do its bidding. I am its pawn. Able only to watch its destructive ways and left only to bury its carnage.
