he is the vampire
who feeds on your love
& he'll say anything at all to get his way

give him an inch,
he'll convert it to metric
& run a 5k

he is the ultimate hustler
who kills rather than be killed

& he disguises his bites
with kisses

before you realize
your blood is drained
and he's three miles away
with someone new

Author's Note: I'm not sure why I think it's acceptable for me to write a poem about a track-running vampire. -shakes head-
