Of Me

My energy
Quickly and
Quietly
Siphoned from my
Collapsing veins

Hello, body traveler
Crux of my
Existence
You are my
Intangible nightmare

I cannot see you
But I feel you
Deep within
Latched to organs with
No voice to scream

In pain
They lose function
As the indomitable
Mutants
Colonize

And
Like ants
Find other
Equally nutrient
Warehouses

Gravity is
Ineffective here
So the colony
Rises
For a new home

Until
It is satisfied
With my
Atrium
As its bungalow

And my
Suffocating
Ventricle
For sustenance
This leech of me

The wind taken
From my sails

But now
I wonder
Am I "it"
Or is "it"
Me

Eyes clouded
Headed high

And still 
I wonder 
Am I "it"
Or is "it"
Me

Another breath
System fails

Until I can't
Wonder
Where is "it"
Where is
"Me"

This is how
It has to be
