Lurking inside
Beats a heart careless
It grows and builds
You will not know until the end
Far too late for succour
Every beat of your heart
Could make it stronger
Tendrils growing deeper
Every sob in the dark
Makes your pain
Last longer
It spreads and bleeds
Within your blood
Taking and tasting
As your strength grows
Weaker
Nothing you do will change it
Genetic bomb explodes
Cells divide and then again
It steals a little then a lot
Making you pay for its crimes
Slow death the silent grave
Internal parasite weakens host
No permission sought nor asked
Every beat of your heart
Could make it stronger
Tendrils growing deeper
It's a bitter surprise
Hidden deep inside
You have never wanted
They make you feel
Special and loved
But never normal
As your strength grows
Weaker
