Misery Vampire
Oh! That you would stop idolizing yourself!
Wake up and stop shouting..
Misery Vampire.
Sorry is not good enough for you anymore.
If I didn’t have to say it every moment
It would sound sincere!
You only feed off my own remorse
Because you have none of your own.
I fear your ugly stubbornness
Lurking in the shadows of my weakest moments.
Suck me dry you merciless bat!
Stalking me night and day.
Kindness a lure so perfected by you.
Oh! That I could meet a real vampire
To put me out of my misery!
A husk of worn out apologies
A skeleton in your graveyard of guilt
If you could see past your own leathered face
You’d realize your feeding off already dead prey!
A pile of dust and bones
A slave to your vampiric hold.
No mortal can break
Your selfless image of righteous justification
Burying all those around you
With your depressing puncture wounds.
Woe, that you don’t awake
And see how dead we already are by you.
Lying in your pity coffin -
Drinking lifeless blood.
Sit out there and sulk at your own creation
Misery Vampire.
I refuse to feed you anymore.
