Vampires

They have been here for thousands of years,
 walking among us in our fears.
Creatures of blood with power and might,
 they come in the dark, they come in the night.
Eyes that look into your soul, 
you feel the power, they take control.
Your body rises as you bleed,
 their blood lust uncontrolled as they feed.
The spirit taken from this life,
 to join the children of the night.

Emotional vampires are everywhere living on our fear and draining us of our strength . Playing with us to satisfy their own needs until we say enough. These Vampires also must be invited into ones life so play it cool man and keep your guard up.
