parasite

Like a parasite
I latch onto you to remain alive
Is staying here right?
Without you I’d surely lose my drive
My drive

And like a parasite
It’d be better that I’m gone
And I can’t bear the sight
Of seeing you at dawn

So I leave at night
Hop upon a new host
Plunge into new light
If I’m luckier than most
Than most

Death comes quick for me
As you came to me today
Let me have one last bite
Albeit unknowingly

I hope as I write
You’re currently at peace
‘cause like a parasite
I've left your life
I’ve left your life deceased
