bittersweet

  • water swirls at my feet
  • i watch as it turns red
  • the sight bittersweet


  • from strikes leak
  • the crimson liquid of life
  • it runs down my legs, shaky and weak
  • reminiscent of the veins from which they came
  • destroyed by a shaving knife
  • it’s oh so bittersweet


  • i slowly reach
  • and gather the essence on my fingertips,
  • grazing the pads against my tongue
  • the soft iron drips
  • down from my lips
  • tasting oh so bittersweet


  • this makes me happy, i tell myself
  • again and again and again
  • but the sight is sickening
  • blood dripping from wounds of my own creation
  • blood filling my mouth with its metallic flavour
  • it’s not right
  • it’s not human
  • my thighs can barely pass as anything but mounds of scabs and blood
  • i can still feel the dried plasma on my lips
  • i just want to be soft
  • to be normal
  • but im nothing but a sorry excuse for a vampire.




it’s bittersweet.
