It returns
with a vengance
making up
for lost time
worse than ever

Why does this have to happen to me?
what have i done to deserve this?
What did i do wrong?
What brought this on?
it just happened,
out of the blue
a serpent
attacking

I see a gleaming out of,
the corner of my eye.
My hand drifts,
i slip,
release,
i am free again.
