Parasite

A free verse poem

A woman as virulent as a parasite

Kicks in the love of those around her

Draining the life out of every heart she pokes at.

🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠

She’s a Barbie doll on the outside

But a creepy monster inside

Leaving a line of annihilation in her vigil.

☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

Her language is like blood

Dripping with vitriol and duplicity

She welcomes you in with sugarcoated fibs

But stabs you in the back with her disloyalty.

🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸

She targets the weak and vulnerable

Taking pleasure in people’s agony

Her fabricated generosity is a mask

To camouflage the darkness within her.

🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭

She's a parasite, gobbling the light

Depleting the joy from every spot

Leaving nothing but dejection in her watch.

👻👻👻👻👻

Beware the girl who's as virulent as a parasite

For she will devour you

Leaving behind nothing but a bite

Of the human you once were.

🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠
