Parasite

Translucent vials of blood collected You possessed so much more than I expected And still you search for more to inspire Day was breaking but you found the moon Just for one more person to hear your tune The Winter is long if kept contrite Your tales of such sweet sorrow Speak no more of lines you borrow Your spin is something to admire The snowflakes have since begun to fall Insipid appetites still harken a silent call Borrow my heart, cruel parasite Sad eyes without tears look more hollow still Too focused on allegories of your last kill Your mawkish crusade set to conspire When will your one man war cease to fire Your bite calls a histrionic vampire Drain me now of this buried spite
