He was there.

Wherever I was. To whatever time. 

Always present.

I don't know for how long.

I don't know for how long he will stay there. 

But I know for sure that he ghosted in my head for almost half a decade. 

Mocking me.
Screaming.
Terrorizing my dreams.

Always present.

"You are nothing without me."

"You would be a nobody without me."

"You need me, Mark."

- - - -

"Let. Me. In."

- - - -

No. 

I can't, can I?

He wasn't supposed to even exist.

He wasn't supposed to do me any harm.

He was made to take my pain and fear away.

To make me stronger. 

To let me live an uncaring life.

"Go out of my head..."

"No, please. Don't..."

"Stop! Make it stop! I beg you!"

"GO AWAY!"

"NO!"

"STOP!"

The pain growing unbearable. 

Tears streaming down his sun-kissed tan skin. 

An agonizing scream escaping him.

He needed clearance. 

He needed clarity. 

He needed him to be gone.

Away for once and all. 

- - - -

It wasn't possible.

They were made for each other.

Dark was made for Mark since the very beginning. 

And there was no going back.

There was no escape.

A devil's circle. 

- - - -

He was lingering in the shadows,

Waiting for an opportunity,

Always There
