he comes

He comes on the wings of night 

He comes to steal away your dreams 

He comes to take the sustenance from your light

He comes as a stranger so familiar you forget to run the other way

He comes as your everything being emptied into one gasp as you sink to the bottom

He comes to hunt your weaknesses 

He comes to devour your pride

He is the worst.

He is the shadow that never leaves your side.

He is the echo of pain which never ceases to follow...a trail of fear and agony.
