love me if you dare

a less-than-sincere note to critics
maybe you think you know me
and maybe you do
but if you read this and find
me a little strange
or even frightening,
then i guess you never knew me
welcome to the real world

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.

yours truly
