Fear - unseen, yet a powerful cause, to control this concept defies all laws.
It can strike all, from the poor to the regal, but there's always some whose ways are illegal.
Story may tell of a wandering soul whose enigmatic and wondrous goal
Is to drain your heart of this negative will, leave it whole but hollow once she's had her fill.

Unseemly at first, but to some quite attractive, you might meet her in bars when the pumps are most active
Through a glass or five, when your guard is aside, she'll easily find what you usually hide -
With compassion and care she will mask her intent, understanding and warm - as if heaven-sent.
Fall for her charm and she'll lead you in private as if it's meant like a friendlier climate.

Now fear by itself is elusive and swift, one cannot too easily part with this gift;
It must surface and fester like a reopened sore, she can't take your worries 'til she sees it at core.
Through delicate means, toxins and strong incense, concoctions of flora that will corrupt your sense
Revisit the pain that you've shared in your tales, created in visions as reality fails;

Agony, torment, distilled distress, emotions imparted through wicked finesse
Time comes to rest in a gut-wrenching way, may you never again see the bright light of day -
Inexplicably, then, a surge of fresh grit; fear is unraveled and you regain your wit
She's taken your ache, it's removed without trace, relief to most, but leaves unfilled space.

She departs with short notice while you try to recover, fleeting existence like a summertime lover.
Doubts grow and cling - was it all even real? Nightmarish but healing is a peculiar feel,
The effects are lasting and the prize is now hers, what may she gain from such terrible curse?
Fear the woman with such grim expertise, to toy with your mind in what way she may please.
