You came vast with no means to leave
I hadnt noticed you at first, not through the darkness
and certainly not through my own close minded desperation
Then you appeared
You showed only the desire to settle, like you and yours had done years before
You crept by like a dreary shadow and I caught you with the corner of my eye and watched you sneak past and try to evade any sense of being seen.
Youre were formless
But I knew youd simply be a pest
Leaving me with the anticipation to kill you
But Ive grown so ill prepared to face you and your kind;
Trying to save a few last drops of ammunition to serve you one last beautiful dance
Ill try to wait you out
But how long can my patience hold on to something that can be taken care of in mere seconds
You arrived again
Misty and furtive
I could hear you snicker as you cursorily scampered across the way
You hid in waiting and I reacted brashly and I fudged you
I couldnt tempt the infection and let it conduct a childhood phobia that had been buried for years
You let it resurface, relapsing and carving a niche into my skull
Where I became nothing, but remains.
I let you succeed for the moment
I escaped you and your arrival
Retreating to a place where I knew you couldnt find me
I have to toughen up and take you down, someday, sooner or later
Will you still be indistinct then?
No longer a pest
Now all the anticipation has awaken me
Pushing me to kill you
Even if I am ill-prepared, I will face you and your kind
Kill and eradicate every last one that comes my way and we will dance.
Oh yes, what beautiful songs we will dance to.
You are my adversary
Closing me into your virus room
I will crush you and flush you out.
Adversity lies skin deep.
Fear is my true enemy, my fear of you, my intolerance building my trepidation and letting it creep upon me
Like a tickle, a gale of nervousness, and a gust of hostility just as I think of you smothering me, feeling you walking on me like some doormat, as if Id be dormant to let you settle.
