I watch her walk in and out of the house every day but she doesn’t seem to notice I’m there.
I know if she just gave me a chance that I could help, but sometimes it’s like she purposely avoids me. If she only let me: I could carry some of the burden and make her forget the pain.
People call me manipulative for reaching out at her worst times, but I think if she realizes I love her at her worst...
Poke!
Poke, Poke!
Jab, Jab!
Time to poke someone!
She has trust issues.
Poke, Poke!
Aw, Why is she crying?
It doesn’t matter if she pokes herself with a sewing needle.
How are shots any different?
Doesn't she trust doctors?
Pooookkkeeeee!
All done!
She hasn't gotten over it?
This isn't fair!...

You’re so sweet. So little and naive. So weak and vulnerable. Mine to take. You fit in an arm. All snuggled up and happy. That is until I came around. Your cries are my joy. Your smiles are my poison. I spread through your body, with only one goal. I must not be too sneaky, because you caught up only at phase two. My plan was compromised, but I shall keep on. I’ll grow big. Big enough for you to f...

Cower in the bathroom
You're not doing all right
You 're sick just like I said
I'm just trying to save you
Don’t you understand?
You dont want to get sick
Do you?
Sanitize you hands
Don't eat your food.
Food will get you sick
I hope you remember.

I have loved you since I came upon you, my darling.
You were so beautiful, but way too reckless.
I couldn't watch you destroy yourself, could I? I know my methods are unusal and you don't always understand, why I have to hurt you to keep you save. Be asured, I would never hurt you more than necessary.
You might think you are having a heart attack, but it will be over soon and you'll know it was j...
I want you, dont you see?
Inside and out I want you, and I will have you. My love for you and you only is dirty and rotting but it is love. Ive heard love overpowers anything in the human world, so why don’t you, a human, understand?
I curl myself between the crevices of your body, carving paths to fit in snugly despite your urgency to rid me. This is fine. You dont understand, that I am you n...
I'm too clingy. It's off putting to humans, I guess. They come in my premises and they start crying or muttering, "I can't escape, your suffocating me...". I don't mean harm, I know I overwhelm them to the point that they feel like I am restricting them and they panic, but I swear its not my intention. It's just what I am I guess, and I wish I could change it. ...
“Human beings are so fragile.” He gazes at the infants in the next room and reaches out a finger to touch the glass in front of us. He scratches at the glass. With a sigh he pulls his hand away and puts it in his pocket.
I swear there is a tiny speck of mold on the window where his finger was. I try to suppress the cough that pounds against my chest. It takes a while for it to stop, but once it...
Sometimes I am only on a boat and it rocks and bobs under me, sometimes I am on a lazy river and it's just a gentle sway, sometimes I AM the boat in an angry sea and everything inside you is flying around untethered and crashing into the walls of your body. (Fairly obvious comparisons, I know). But sometimes I am just the ripple of a footstep in a puddle that only means you have made a movement th...
