Parasite

Parasite

“You’re a waste of breath. Nothing more then a piss poor embarrassment. I’ve wasted more then enough time on you, and won’t rest till you’re choking on your last drop of blood. You’re going to find out how bad I actually am. A parasite, the nameless leech that I will now refer to you as. You have taken almost nine years of my life. From then till now you have controlled me, Controlled every aspect of my life. I find it amusing that you think that I would be overtaken by the swarm of perturbation anymore. You are nothing more then a disorder, an infection….A parasite. I loathe what you have made me and I loathe what will become of me if I let you rule my life any further.”

“Did you really think that I would allow you to survive any longer? Parasites don’t live forever. I simper at the thought of your flesh burning away. Each layer of muscle will deteriorate, and the bone will turn to ash.

I am free, I am no longer a victim of you anymore. Say you’re last breath, enjoy you’re last gasp of air. When you’re lungs collapse and fill with blood, I’ll enjoy you asphyxiating on it.” So I pulled the trigger, and the man I had fought for the past nine years was dead. With a grin on my face I placed the lustrous metal gun to my head.

“I’ll never be controlled again” I pulled the trigger, Then blackness. I’m constrained. Tied down. Where am I?

This room. It’s white, neat and precise. There’s no padding so I’m not in a psych ward. It’s just white. The light was coruscating. I didn’t think I could feel pain after what I had done. I never was “Normal” as they put it. I never though of myself at different though. Is this what death is? We sit in a white room for eternity? Am I in purgatory.  Perhaps this is my personal hell where I’m destined to reflect on the hatred that has consumed for for so long. I want to get out of here. I want to leave this place, where ever this place is. My life is a complete lie. If you could call what I had a life. I feel like I’m dreaming. I could do anything, The floor is hard but strangely mailable. I can touch it. Caress it. I can feel it’s story, See it’s past. I am a parasite. I am a parasite. I see through objects and people and they never have a clue what I am. Good and Evil never existed in my head, Just them. They are what keeps me awake. They are what put me to sleep. They are everything and nothing to me. They give me advice and they punish me when I am “Wrong” or what is deemed wrong. They are long gone now. They will be forever. So will I. They will never understand why or how. They will never understand what has happened to me. Why it’s happened and why it has to keep happening. I am dead, I feel dead. If there was a mirror there would be nothing on the other side. I’ve tried reflecting but nothing comes back just darkness, Empty cold darkness. They never say me either I was completely invisible before They went away forever. Gone. They vanished in cold plain sight just as quickly as my reflection.

Parasite. The word rang in my head louder than any bell that had ever tolled.  All that had stuck with me through all this was a poem I had once read. “With god forsaken I am mistaken as nothing more than worthless. I am a man without a plan, yet a damaged one at that. I have no direction or any affection to an infection such as you.” The reason that I hung onto these words like I had nothing is because I did have nothing.

On the Champs-Élysées

On the Champs-Élysées

“It’s so nice here.  I’m glad we didn’t stay in the museum, I just want to hear the sounds of the street right now.  I’m happy to sip my Café au lait and feel the sun on my face.  At least I’m happy the sun isn’t beating down on my back like it is yours.  Why do you think I chose this seat?……..I think my butt is stuck to this chair……..will you speak to me please?”

“How can you be so cheerful?  How can you pretend that nothing is wrong?  I’m not like you, I can’t do it.”

“What else can I do?”

“I don’t know…….something.”

“Would it make you feel better if I locked myself in a dark room and cried?  Believe me, I have cried.  I’ve cried and screamed and blamed everyone from God to the doctor to the door man.  It doesn’t do any good.”

“But you have accepted it.  You’ve given up.”

“No sweety. I have not given up.  Lean your head back and feel the sun on your face.  Smell the smell of fresh baked bread?  I hear such a happy bird somewhere in those trees.  Do you?  Listen.  Listen to the laughter of the group at that table.   I haven’t given up on life, I’m experiencing it for the first time.  And I’m loving it.”

“Please…please don’t leave me…”

“Stop it!  This is not my choice.  Don’t you dare put that guilt on me right now.  Do. Not. Cry.  Look at me……don’t cry.  I don’t want this, I didn’t choose it but here it is.  I want to live with you and love you and experience life with you now.  Now is our time.  Live life with me for whatever time we still have left to do it.”

“I don’t know h-..how.  I don’t know how to look around it.  I can’t ignore it.  I kiss you … or … or laugh with you and in the back of my mind I think, will this be the last kiss or the last laugh?  Will this be the last drink we share?  Will today be the last time I can see you smile the way you do.  I can’t get out from under this.  It’s poisoning me.  It’s all I see.”

“I am sorry.  I’m so sorry.”

“Sorry?  How can you say that?  What in the world do you have to be sorry for?”

“Do you think there are croissants in Heaven?  Do you think there are super hot naked angel men who will bring me my order?

“If there are, remind me to kick their asses when I get there”

“I love you.  I have loved you more than I ever imagined possible.  I have loved every single thing about you since I was 15 years old.  You are truely another piece of me.  You are what makes me who I am because without you…without your love…I would be nothing.

“Don’t say that.  You are you.  You are unique.  I have been so honored to have had you for the time God has allowed me.  And I’m really pissed that he is taking you back.”

“I know.”

“I love you too.  From the moment I saw you…I…I will never love anyone…an-…”

“Thank you for bringing me here.”

“Thank you, my love.  Thank you for …. for everything.”
