"someone stole my blood"

someone is stealing my blood at night,
I can feel the lack of it in my veins.
someone is biting into my flesh alright,
I can smell the blood running down my leg.

someone is out to get me, out to ruin me, bold.
I still hear them walking up the stairs.
I can touch the rumbling steps they wear.
someone weighs down my chest, their embrace, cold.

too many times have I awoken to a pair of eyes,
heard a voice sing me to sleep, lull my disbelief.
too many nights have I fallen for those lies,
my heart so eaten away, that death felt like relief.

once in a full moon I remember those nights, revert.
I feel death around me, I seek it, I run into a cloud.
once under a fool moon I was tricked into accepting dirt,
so now I am wary, I am lazy, I allow myself to be loud.
