Blood

Nothing else matters anymore,

It's all about the one.

The one thing that gives life,

Or can even take it away.

Tasting and craving it,

Wanting and needing it.

Every vein in my body

Tells me to find it, drink it.

I listen to it,

Dreaming of the taste.

There, now, the prey comes,

Startled by my presence.

A smile, a polite apology.

A smile in reply, a quick movement.

It's in my mouth now,

Flowing down my throat in

Pure ecstasy.

Nothing else matters,

The body falling to the ground.

Now that I have it,

I am alive again

Forever wanting more.
