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
