I am at home, alone. I open the door to let them in. Parasites. They are so familiar, Beloved old friends. No. They do not come in. I am led away, Willingly. Happily, I offer my neck and wrists. I need to feed the ones I love. I give. I am now in a daze. The world looks dark. Confused. What happened? How do I get home? What will my beloved do without me, If I leave them behind? Will I survive? Will they? Does it matter? No, it does not. I fall to the ground, Give up. Dreams take hold. Wake up! My beloved have gone. I am no longer providing sustenance. I am outside of myself. I recall my former home, And begin to search. Finally, Alone, I arrive. Warm, Happy, Reconnected. I remember this, But it is different. Fresh art adorns these walls. New music plays. It is bigger. Changed. This... This is my home.
