I know that I’m a leech
Crawling all over your skin,
Attached to your thoughts.
I’ve been sucking out as much
Of your nutrients as I could,
All to be able to sustain myself.
I consume from the inside out
Chewing apart your innards
Until bones slow me down.
But by then everything you
Once were is gone, you're
Just a ghost of flesh.
You had no choice but to
Dismember me, tear me limb
From limb to save yourself.
