Like a parasite
I cling to your emotions
I feed off your negative energy
Then regurgitate it as a happy quick fix

When you’re happy
I can’t stand it
I can’t be with you
It’s a good thing this rarely happens

When you’re sad
I can help you
I make you feel better
But only so I can feel better about myself

Do you need a hug?
Give me a call
Something exciting?
Talk to a wall
It should care more than I ever could

I love you
But only when you’re sad
