The purples, blue, and reds faded as the sun rose/
Jagged clouds of repaired tissue reminded me of the erosion I survived/
More or less/
Michael's lips have added to the rainbow of marks on my skin/
But the ones he leaves hold no aura of violence/
So I don't bother crying over them/
This boy is a magician, I swear to it/
In a snap of a his fingers he transforms me/
From a feeble heap of nothing to a vibrant animation/
I fear that I depend on him too much/
I'm a parasite feeding off it's host/
I know that if I lose him I'll be dragged down with his remains/
Interpretation: The first stanza states how the bruises from a few days ago are starting to heal up. Line 2 and 3 are referring to the scars left behind and how Luke thinks he "more or less""survived" the event. Michael has left hickeys on Luke, and those make him happy. Stanza 3 is saying how Michael can make him so much happier in such a short time, it's like magic. Stanza 4 is another comparison to a parasite-host relationship. Luke thinks he's only happy, only living, because of Michael. So If Michael leaves him he won't survive (much like when the host dies the parasite will die too).
