The double helix
The foundation of life
Our blood
Our path
A feeling arrives
From a stray region
Tiny yet powerful
It latches on
Gnawing at your ribs
Chewing and grinding
Creates a feeling
Of a fire exploding
A noise booming
Chest burning
It rises up
Engulfs the mind
Growing
A parasite to a
Paranoid host
Rather than resist
You comply
Give it control
Let it tear
Let it destroy
Till it is the host
And you are the parasite
To its continuation
A hurdle to existence
That's soon purged
Quiet....
Stillness prevails
Nothing remains
All consumed as fuel
And the fire is dead
Behind a hollow stare
An empty smile
A humorless laugh
Lies the offcut
Left with a choice
This is the moment
When you're
In so deep
It feels easier
to just swim down
And below you dive
In a perfect spiral
Till bubbles cease
And you rise again
Cold and grey
