Creepy Crawlies

It seeps down the walls of this house
Crawling on the floors,
Making its way over
Wrapping up my legs,
Slowly stringing my fingers,
Clamping them shut
And in the night time,
It lives in my head
Maneuvering my dreams
It sticks to the bottom of my feet,
So I trudge and slouch, struggling
I move slowly
I see the light but the darkness cuddles me
It kisses me on the cheek,
Enticing me
I listen to its whisper
I give it my everything
Draining me of anything I still am
And when I think it's gone,
It returns
Stronger than ever
Is say goodbye one last time
To the light I tried to hold
Understanding that until I let go,
It will never let go of me.
