Kill Me

Kill me, kill me, and kill me right now.

For every drop of blood that drips

Scare you in your dreams, as you are fast asleep

Haunt you day and night, all your life

I am your greed, the inner voice that keeps wanting

I am your jealous thoughts, that bugs you every minute

I am in your blood that makes it boil, when all else is cool

Do you remember when you were just a kid and innocent?

When I didn't have a reason to be, but moved in with you

As you were unaware, and growing up like anyone else

Growing up to be worldly, and seduced by its pleasures

You feed me in every bite that you eat, yet never make me full

You soak up my thirst in every gulp yet never quench enough

I know, you pleasure me in so many ways, so many times

Yet, have you realized that I always want more than you give?

Don't ever blame me for wanting all the time, all the things, please.

For, the more you give me, I want more than ever to be pleased

Try not to kill me, for I will kill you before I leave you peaceful

Hey! Just know that I am the reason that you are human animal

Just leave me alone, and not talk to me any time

Be deaf to what I say, and I may fall into hibernation

Alive but barely alive, in a deep sleep, in my heavenly cave

OK! Good bye to you my friend, for I am already very sleepy.
