It’s an ugly ghost that calls your name
lures you by it’s side at all hours
tells you that you’re pretty and it’s the world that’s ugly.
An apparition that stalks you, and taunts you
tells you all the things you want to hear
the things that make everything else fall away
The ghostly parasite steals your health and vitality
takes away your smiling laughter
your daydreams
seeps toxic waste out of your pores
and buries your humanity.
After the haunting you see the changes
the way the demonic parasite made you feel
the distaste of sensitivity thrown away lingers then…
after your exorcism
But you always return to your demons,
your mass weapons of self destruction
you think they make you feel better
they warm you the way I’m supposed to
But you’re wrong.
Your haunted by right and wrong
at every turn but you keep going back
to shadowy mistress
that steals you away from me.
