there's a twisting, disturbing presence inside me. i simply can't figure out what it is.
it's crawling around in crevices of my mind i hadn't yet discovered. this shadow of some sort is flowing through my veins, following my blood. twisting through the gaps in my ribcage, squeezing around my heart. this thing is feeding off my feelings of love and leaving me hollow and numb.
it's terrifying when you let such things into your soul without knowing it, letting harmful things twirl around inside your body. unable to let it out, unable to banish it from inside you without knowing what it is.
