NIGHT 1: YOU CAME BACK.

Here we go again.
In the middle of the night, I see you.
You came back for me.
You always end up coming back.
And I always end up taking you in.
I know, I have the right to destroy myself.
I do.
I am free to choose.
I have exercised that power for a long time.
But you see, I was enjoying not having your presence in my life lately.
I wouldn’t say I was happy, but at least, I wasn’t hooked up to chemicals to function.
Like when you had me at your mercy daily.
Now, is this a flashback? A hallucination?
Or are you actually here and settling in again?
I am feeling a bit more than a little peculiar.
But I have no will to fight you.
Darkness, my old friend.
You do look older.
Have you not been feeding yourself well?
Have you not found a better, fresher human to attach to?
Nostalgia? Yeah, I get you.
We were a good team, I guess.
Tonight, let’s have again one of our usual conversations.
I don’t mind.
