Parasite

This piece is very personal to me and what's going on right now, and I just felt the need to get it out.

You're the reason behind every scar
That marks my broken frame
You've cut me open and torn me apart
Are you happy that you've left your mark?

Your parasite has burrowed inside
Devouring me from the inside
I'm dying on the inside
It's destroying whatever's left

There's nowhere left to run,
Nowhere left to hide. 
When all the world is just a cage.
And from inside yourself, there's no escape.

Your parasite has been left behind
Where everything else has left.
The demon that's been locked inside.
You're now nothing more than a parasite.

There's nothing left of who you were.
And there's little left of myself.
But I realize now, you were lost long ago.
You're as dead to me now as you are to yourself.

hmm its an interesting poem, flows greatly with some interesting themes and a lot there to think about. the only thing that makes it a bit awkward to read is how in one stanza it almost sounds like three lines rhyme and then in the next there r three lines that end with inside. overall its a great poem though and you did a really good job
