Oh despair

Why do you visit me?

I know you are coming

Yet

Still unexpected.

I feel your devious intentions,

Creeping in the shadows.

Arriving uninvited to

Spite me.

Mocking laughter in satisfaction,

Scratching at my door

In my finest hour

To

Coat my vision in

Black

And cloud

My path;

Nip at my heels

As i try to evade your touch.
