Becoming You

I see you.
Nothing, to me, but a resource,
You’re needed only for my life...
You don’t see.
I approach, destined to take over,
You won’t scream, you won’t know…

I’m in you.
Make myself comfortable, tear your flesh,
A new home, a new host…
You’re not aware.
Your life source: given to me,
I start feeding, you feel weak...


I’m becoming you.
Closer to the brain, I slither,
A new step, further, your misery...
You feel it?
I pirce, you flinch, I laugh,
Enter your thought’s home, I proceed...

I am you.
Think you're crazy? Thoughts not yours,
Our minds connect, your mind falters...
YOU HEAR ME?
I will become your only existence,
I’ve stolen your lifesource, and humanity.

I’ve...killed you.
Your breathing slowed, heart beat deceased,
I’ve taken more than you possessed...
You’ve killed me!
No host, no source, no life,
Your end, mine as well, I fade...
