I’m loosing you
I feel it
you don’t love me like you used to
you don’t hear me like you used to
now all I am is an inconvenience
a constant, incessant mundane buzz
that you swat away at as if I’m a misquote
sucking the blood
the life out of you
you’ve said as much

and I’m trying to stay away
I’m trying to dull my buzz
I’m trying to not draw blood
but I guess it’s in my nature
for Im a mosquito

and at any moment that I become too much
too loud
for you
you shut me out
you hang your mosquito curtains
so you don’t get bit

but what about me?
I need the blood
I need the carnage
my buzzing is just something
that comes with that
