Parasite
Unknowingly entered but easily accepted
 Initially unnoticed and seemingly fine
 Careless actions and loss of judgment
 
 You’re eating away at me
 My insides are rotting… what insides?
 I’m almost gone
 Fragments of what used to be stomach remain 
 
 Your very nature is to thrive on my shortcomings 
 The ideal symbiotic bond broken from when you broke into me
 
 I have no choice but to succumb to your needs
 What I want doesn’t matter anymore
 Who am I?
 I can no longer discern me from you
 You took and took
 And now
 I have nothing left to give you
 
 You said you loved me
 Tried to make us one
 If you really loved me you would never hurt me like you did
 Selfish cover-ups for your grandiose lie
 
 You’re no lover
 You’re merely a 
 P a r a s i t e
 
 Must rid of you
 Lest I’ll be gone forever
 It’s time to suck the poison out
