patchwork child

stupid boy

stupid boy
staring back at me
with his soft, small body
how infested it may be

my eyes stolen away
when i gaze, when i stare
i'll only see through them
as bugs swarm the air

foolish boy
only looking to feel good
cracking, shattering
when i should have withstood

their flesh never touched mine
yet i can feel it
hands grabbing hold
in a room unlit

idiot boy
told to beware
he never listens
it's all so unfair
