Anxiety crept in the back door
He didn’t knock
He didn’t ask for an invite
He didn’t even close the door behind him

I thought I could give him the couch for the night
But he wanted the guest room
I thought I could host him
But he wanted a roommate
I thought I could handle him
But he broke my will and stole my hope

So I gave him my will
Then I gave him my hope
And finally I gave him my love
Because he was only ever me wearing a halloween costume
