Without Me

It’s strange symbiosis we share
I who lift you up, morning noon and night. Yet you’d rather live without me

You’re provider your protector, your shield from an everlasting sleep.
Yet you’d rather live without me.

All I ask from you in return is a few moments of your time. To let me run through you’re veins. To be a part of you, yet you’d rather live without me.
