I am a parasite, I live deep within you. I make it impossible for you to stay true.
A cancer in your soul, no cure, no treatment! I feed on your peace and your moments of weakness.
You call out for change but I know you don’t mean it; you beg me to stop but but I can’t hear you scream it.
We know each other and we coexist but deep down you know you cannot resist.
The pull of my power, the draw of my name, your deepest desires to relish in pain.
The pain of others, a pain you can spread, a pain that sparks, the dark thoughts in your head.
Where do I come from? You haven’t a clue, but still, here I sit, deep within you.
Waiting, hoping, stalking my prey, counting and pacing as you run away.
Knowing that no matter how hard you run, you will never escape me because you and I, are one.
