Modern Day Vampire: Beware of the Soul Suckers

Please Treat Souls With Care

They are out there
breathing our air
looking like you and I
and every girl and guy.

But they get inside your brain
their purpose is to claim
your sense of reality
until you are on bended knee
to their tower
under their power
drained of strength
and you'd go to any length
Your love unfurled
while they trample your world.

breadcrumbs
becomes
your hearts desire
feeds your fire
and one day your soul
becomes what they stole.

They release the chain
without it you are in pain
leaving you empty handed
emotionally stranded
by the modern day vampire
with many lost souls for hire.

Garlic won't protect you
nor a crucifix or two
silver is useless
against the existential mess
you acquire
from a brush with a modern day vampire.
