I drain you of your will,
Your life, your love, your labors, your thrill.
I give and I take. But mostly I take.
That's why the back of your mind always seems to ache.
I am a parasite. That lingering sensation in your dreams,
The naivety in your hopes and the fumbles in your schemes.
I do this because I must as without you I cannot survive.
For like a virus I am not quite dead but nor am I alive.
Even when your corpse is rotten,
I will never be forgotten.
You pass down your flaws and vitality...
For your aspiration is immortality.
But that is my goal too, you see.
And there is nobody better at this than me.
You've adjusted so well to my additions,
You've taken to calling me the human condition.
