A Leech Came After Me In My Sleep

A leech came after me in my sleep.
So I dreamed up a tapeworm.
Silly mistake.  
Now I am being eaten.

Slowly and mightily.
From the inside out,
And the outside in.
The roundworms and flatworks are knocking.

I dare not listen.
Not wanting any more strife.
In what is left
Of my rapidly disappearing body.
