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
