Parasite

buried underneath your skin,
i've worked my way,
sunk deeper in,
Until you forgot that i was there,
feeding off this life we share.

You scratch to try and set me free,
but all it does,
is make you bleed,
I'm the pain inside,
I'm something you can't lose.

When I leave your crippled heart,
I'll sneak away,
back to the dark,
but your scars will hold,
the memory of my stay.

the pain inflicted last forever,
The gashes heal,
but the heart will never,
every day the tears still flow,
salt in the wounds of a tortured soul.

the only escape you have is death,
swift and painless,
ends your breath,
swallow the pill of your dying race,
forget your life and forget your faith.
