Succubus

I had a vivid dream last night,

A Succubus upon my bed.

I thought that she might suck me dry

And leave a husk both dry and dead.

Though something deep inside me stirred

To fight until the bitter end.

And now she sits, sad, by my side

Waiting for my heart to mend.

So once again she'll claim my love,

And drape her chains around my soul,

Tighten ‘tiI I barely breathe,

Her mouth becomes a gaping hole

That draws the light right from my eyes

And shatters hope and shatters dreams.

So with pessimism I give up,

And let her have my tortured screams.
