Alone

It takes a hold on me
Wrapped round my neck.
Digs its claws
Into my arteries.

I do not bleed out
Through its will.
Too many a victim
I shall let it play.

Take me instead
And save the day.
I fight just enough
To give a struggle.

The days become cold
As I sit here alone.
Its claws still in my neck
Touching bone.

I cannot give in
How many have i saved.
Being here
For the rest of my days.
