You live inside of me…

a parasite..

devouring me…

bite by bite…

you… yes you..

crawling up to my head…

tearing me out…

cell by cell…

but not all of it yet…

so I function…

but (am) dysfunctional…

from laughter to tears…

in just seconds I am dual…

and they… don’t know…

what’s eating me out…

they’re all filled with doubts….

but me….

I am wrapped in my sheets…

whispers fill my ears…

Oh I hear sounds…

that they cannot hear….

I see sights….

they have never seen…

travelling everywhere…

without destinations…

and you….

since you have left me…

you are always with me…

nibbling away…

all that’s left of me…

but not all of it yet…

so I function…

but (am) dysfunctional…
