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.
