The All-Consuming Love Affair

The All-Consuming Love Affair

The all-seeing

All-consuming

Love affair.

Step right up to see the wonder of the

Disappearing Man

He couldn’t leave his demons behind

He couldn’t leave Her

And so

They ate him

He tried to run

But they hung on,

Barnacles to a pier,

Taking bite after bite

And as he shrank

He realized that they weren’t eating him

But his demons.

So, he cut them off.

Knowing that he’d grow back

Stronger

Healthier

Without.

And he could finally stop running.
