Parasite

      You came into my life
When my life was a drag
You gave me what I needed
I was blind to the red flags

I didn’t know you needed me
More than I needed you
I’m still trying to recover from
What you put me through

Like a Leech you attached yourself
I guess it was just my luck
You fed off of me and more and
More of my life you would ****

I was getting weaker and weaker
Burning in the fire of your Hell
I was walking around in a Zombie haze
Under your Witch Wicked spell

You took advantage of my situation
You put yourself in the limelight
You pushed me back in the shadows
Until I realized you were just a Parasite

When I met her
the flowers gave me my lines,
my world rippled new colors,
and words called to me
from the sun, moon, and stars.

Carrying my truth.
I stand by my views,
watching through
my weakening gaze.

After a raging storm,
making peace with myself,
I vanish into the air,
my convictions fold with me.

Without simple answers,
wearing the new lens,
I see another world:
not clearer,
not wiser,
not safer,
…
just slightly shifted.

Why do I feel so separated from life, so separated from myself, my soul?

I feel like I'm alone, yet surrounded.

What is this feeling of sorrow, the feeling of water in my eyes?

Why do I feel so guilty, for living?

I feel as if I'm separating, from everything and one.

In this life, as if there is something wrong.

Because so far, we have all been broken and separated.

Yet I don't want that for us, I want you to stay.

So please stay and, don't separate from me.
