Parasite Poem by Marea Johnson

Parasite

Rating: 5.0


Burrowing quickly
into my skin
I know what you want
I know where you've been.

Starving for food
and needed attention
You contaminate me
with your lethal infection.

Visiting me
without invitation
Taking from me
without hesitation.

Wanting the life
that pumped through my veins
You latched onto me
again and again.

And now that you've left me
with nothing to give
You'll find a new host
upon which to live.

And although you've left me
parched, and depleted
You won't be leaving me
sad, down and defeated.

Cuz I have a secret
you're soon to discover
I put a little something
in your food my dear lover.

And not long from now
you blood sucking tic
You'll be down on your knees
wrenching and sick.

So good riddens to you
you've had your last bite
Goodbye and sleep well
my sweet parasite.

I see you got even. I would not want to make you mad Marea (smiles) This one should be sent to those that we knowingly take advantage of others and I am not just speaking about lovers! Total enjoyment for me! J.L.

This poem is truly amazing. It outlines perfectly human nature, in such a brutal way. Very well written. x

Parasitic... but what else is to be associated with yet another superior trait of human nature?

an excellent write, this'parasite'. there will always be someone who thinks that a woman should be' used' and 'abused'.their ignorence will always show, but their mind is very slow. another ten! and if anyone thinks that a women can be their toy then they should read one of my ' i am series' 'i am woman'
