- Return to the poem list. Don't touch me you parasite
I shrink from your disease
You smell so sweet
And look so pure
As you feast upon my meat
I feel you crawl underneath my skin
And slide against my brain
Dull my senses
Sap my strength
On my heart carve out your name
Stay away from me
You haunt me like a wraith
Burn me hot as rage
Numb me cold as pain
Leech away my future and respin my web of fate
But perhaps this isn't wrong
This union birthed in guile
Feel my thoughts
Share my dreams
Still my screaming and make me smile
I need you
Really need you
Should never have let you stay
