Vampires
Are real
They suck
The blood
Of love
The fears 
Of kindness 
The shame 
Of forgiveness 
The vulnerability 
Of growth
The oxygen 
Of clarity
The hope 
Of momentum 
The peace
Of mind 

They grind 
to find 
the rhyme 
to dismantle
disgruntle
the flow of
your time 
to drain 
the gain 
with the pleasure of 
pain
scars unseen 
stain upon stain
putrid puke green
leached and latched 
host blinded is the 
host unmatched 

begging the question
before the echo dies flat

why 
why 
why

look on the bright side 
reverse your psych pry
what must one destroy
to stay alive?
Or avoid to 
love, laugh and cry?

For every good 
there is evil 
For every hate 
there is love 
For every angel 
there’s a devil 
So open thine eyes and 
follow the line
To the truth, 
the divine

If she is the vampire 
Then you are the what
In this parable of mine
