Sea of Sharks

A shiver finning slowly and meticulously through the currents of an empathic sea Wanton eyes peering and hungering because they're bloodthirsty Yes Clearly The thirst for blood is present But just any ol' blood won't do It is the highly coveted blood of an empath that's in their view Now, the great hunt ensues An indomitable quest to satiate an insatiable, parasitic thirst So empath, I implore you to beware Beware of that cold, desolate stare And oh, beware of the beguiling smile It's just a disguise to lure and defile Let's not forget the handshake When you're awake you know when it's fake And do please, please take very good care Your blood is top shelf and there is a sea of hungry sharks waiting out there
