Hello, Nightmare.
It seems our paths are linked, for a time,
and I shall endure your company so long as you endure mine.
But withhold your persuasion, to pervade my conscious mind
lest my fears suffer inflation and your motives shall unwind.

Keep your nature hidden, or subtle at the most.
To adherence you are bidden, or seek you a new host.
I'll settle for the ******* of a parasitic ghost
for I am short of comrades and parsimony lost
