Send the Note

CLS Sandoval

Draining me dangerously low
I can only lose a pint
You’re not only a leech
But a vampire
Not the seductive young man
But the monster who sucks
And sucks

Color draining from my world
My hands wide open
Desperate to let go
Your grip is so tight
I begged so long for you to hold me
But this is no tender embrace

Your knuckles whiten
As your hands dig into my flesh

I die
Yet you keep haunting me
