Chains

One outstayed welcome, your invite was short.
I turned to you, when in dark times I was caught.
I was trapped, had nowhere to go, so I let you in.
You convinced me of a battle, that I could not win.
You painted my past, present and my future black.
You crept in, stole my soul and now I want it back.
I was in troubled times, full of doubt and self hate.
But an even darker life for me, you helped to create.
Now I pray that you leave, in the time that remains.
But still you cling on, I'm still wrapped in your chains.

Thank you reading...I think 'chains' can relate to lots of things, drugs, drink any other addiction and of course people.
