It hits me in the ribs
Reality
Functionality
Are you able to stand on your own two feet?
Do you even deserve to breathe ?
To stay alive?

Its a cliche of a cliche
Broken home going on outside inside
Still

Like a alien it makes you believe that it replaces your own ability to stay alive so that if you remove it, you think you might die.
And it feels like it when you reach down and grab the tail end of the parasite, it squeezes tightly on the organs, and you can barely breathe
You whisper "please leave" in the night and in the day and mornings
I need to go on without you, I cant grow anything while you are here.
Please, I need to be..alone.
"But you are alone, I am a part of you, no need to remove what works"
Just ignore me, I do no harm.

But you do, I can barely breathe, my body is so tired, my brain feels expired and I cant feel anything else than you.

"But I love you"
