Crawl deep inside me
Bury yourself beneath my layers

Nestle into my inner being
Snuggle far into my soul

Gnaw at my pain
Starve on my self-worth

You blanket my mind each time you enter
I wither as you yell and scream

Breathless I cannot ask for help
I fear you
I despise you
I cannot fight you

Crawl deeper
Snuggle tighter
Gnaw harder

Until I am weakened and lie lifeless in the crowd where
Others only see
What you've made of me
