I healed her soul by giving up mine, <br />Vampiress sucking my life blood. <br />It started as a transfusion, a willing donation, <br />But ended nearly finishing me off. <br /> <br />Impossible to lay blame, I started the syphon, <br />Vacuum consuming my life. <br />I waited too long, had no strength left, <br />To pull out the pipe and stop the flow. <br /> <br />Now I rejoice still being myself, <br />Stronger, broader, fresh with the change. <br />It was touch and go, but also inevitable, <br />Choices and changes leading me here. <br /> <br />Boozy, bleary, numb and hollow was me, <br />Symbiote turned parasite was she. <br />Left me with nothing but my morals intact, <br />But when naked, what else is there? <br /> <br />Visibly scarred, inernally scared, <br />Finished with more character. <br />My insight remains, <br />Longer than fears.<br /><br />Nomad Goggs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/syphon/
