emotional vampire
- one who feeds on others' emotions -
you feed on their emotions,
letting them diffuse like dreams
into your sieved void.
their small joys buoy you up, eagerly
contented, as you struggle
with that life jacket.
they're the flame on your birthday candle,
you burn when they crash.
you cut yourself with their pain -
theirs' seem more
real, more legitimate, more
painful. somehow.
yours are like glass.
you take on their emotions,
because your own are too
volatile, too intense, too
frightening -
and they scare you.

why do you whisper?
why do you whisper? when
no one hears
the hiss of your breath
escaping from deep inside
your swollen throat.
your tamed fire blazes behind
averted eyes. there is no one
to read your agony and unleash it.
you have forgotten how to speak
and your silence no longer disturbs you.
yours truly
