Parasite
A Poem by Keila Aartila
This poem is dedicated to all the narcissistic fools I’ve met throughout my life who have made me the woman I am today. Thank you.
You drift upon the river in my veins,
pushed along effortlessly by heartbeats
keeping time
eternally
you will sail, coursing, undulating
with the beauty of the seasons, hot and cold,
forever cozy,
wrapped in yesterday.
*
Drowning in passion,
thriving on love-bites
you are forever in my blood.
*
Why must you destroy me?
