My thoughts are oft of melancholy hue

My thoughts are oft of melancholy hue
Due mainly to an existential bent.
Enveloping myself like morning dew,
They drag me down an unending descent.

I feel my sanity slipping away
On fragile feet, escaping with each breath;
Abandoning me to the coming day.
Accepting fate I devoutly pray for Death.

But will Death come in time to rescue me?
I fear of its capricious nature most.
Just like some parasite -- Insanity
Has sunk its teeth in me, its humble host.

Too late! It's penetrated to the bone,
And now this insane creature is full-grown.
