Mosquito Jealousy

Man wishes to be mosquito, perched upon my breast
Suckling sweet, pure blood, to then be put to rest
Life includes taking without giving, a blood sacrifice
Man does not have this innate nature, but giving will suffice

Lived experiences versus desires cultivated into four stages of life
Egg, larva, pupa, and adult versus infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood strife
Man wants to be at one with naturalistic tendencies, body stripped down
Secretly feeding on desires that are so open by man to society, found

Men wish to possess and caress the intimacies of women, wanting in
Infiltrate, penetrate the skin by which to discover the beating heart within
Men wish to be the subtle form that by which the culicidae have won
These species have carried bacteria and pathogens, to then feel gratified and undone

Men see unattainable wealth in the intimacy mosquitoes explore
Twilight vampires preying on the animal but watching mosquitoes have more
It is never enough to have the most intimate parts of her, for the want to be inside her skin
Leaves an internal impact, but the mosquito marks her, letting her know where she has been
