The Consumation

It was following me.

Looming over my head.

A dark shadow cast across my every move.

It was watching me.

Every second,

Of every day.

There wasn't much I could do about it.

So I let it in.

I let it consume me.

It became me.

Now people ran in fear of me.

But I conquered many.

I followed them.

I loomed over their heads.

I watched them every second,

Of every day.

Until they let me consume them.

Like I did long ago.

Before I became death itself.
