My Parasite

Smile at me, but from which face?

Or are you really laughing?

Climb so far, then pushed from grace,

You kick me as I fall.

See you frown and I buy your tears,

And the price is no mere pennies.

Bought and sold your presence here,

Now my soul is whore.

You’re looking back, looking back.

And wanting more.

Feel your touch and I forgive,

Can’t control this weakness.

Take my life, so you can live,

Feed well, my parasite.

Your eyes lie, and my ego swells,

Your kingdom if I suffer.

Take your crown, I wear it well,

And get what I deserve.

You’re looking back, looking back.

And wanting more.
