Parasitic

Parasitic

A parasite has taken up residence in my brain

She doesn’t cause pain she’s not even a strain

No it’s much worse let me make this perfectly clear the true reason she fills me with fear

Nestled in my psyche like a bird in a tree she makes me feel like singing I’m abuzz like a bee

She sets free my tongue brings air to my lungs puts motion to my fingers with a fire that lingers somewhere in my chest

The pest is deaf to my behest “leave me she doesn’t feel the same” I request and request but this parasite called love it seems she cares less and less

The terror it grips me even tighter makes me grow lighter and lighter my oxygen turned to helium I thought I was a fighter

but the parasite makes me look like a buffoon she fills me up and then pops me like a balloon

She doesn’t even care it’s not in her nature I feel as though I’ve bet it all and lost a hefty wager

I continue to lie to myself and say it’s nothing major that I can shed these emotions and leave them on a hanger

But this parasite called love she’s blinded me letting me dance in my delusions I don’t care to see cause that parasite in my mind whispers she’s the one for me
