Envious are the scroungers
That feed on the heart
Little by little
drilling holes into the flesh
spurting the blood out
Little by little
coughing every flowing juice
dwindling its might
wrestling for oxygen
until the heart cannot pump anymore
halting, blocking, sucking
the blood
passing through the veins
Vain are these users
devouring on the poor heart
unminding the pain
faking its obliviousness as it
ditches for another heart to feed on
