Energy Leech-er

(Originally written September 2022, Published December 2022)  

 

You're an energy leech-er

albeit in disguise

and all I wants'

for this to be over

before it brings me demise 

 

Your disgusting 

pseudo-empathy

grates like a chalkboard

to me 

because I smell 

through what I cannot see

I hear the ruffling birds

hiding 

in the trees

 

And these sounds and smells

keep bringing me down

til the end of a wine bottle

is where I seem to drown

 

Yes, it seems that

I'm allergic to 

narcissistic personalities

albeit in reality

I'm terrified to break contact

afraid that too will bring pain

for the risk that still runs 

like a cloud that's full of rain

is the continuing harassment

abuse, and stain campaigns

 

Can I block that acid rain

in order to sever 

this pain?

 

It's a pain like my arms' 

secretly being twisted back

when conversing with someone

pretending to be what they lack

but switch on to confuse

to keep their evil at your back

 

Like a shadow

following me around

is this dark energy of yours

that is keeping me bound

 

I have to somehow

cut this off

no matter the consequences

no matter who doesn't know

the truth

beneath your pretenses 

Because I'm caught in a rut

and I can't move from here

so this door has to be shut

and in spite of my fear

having your energy

all too near

is slowly pushing me

off the peer 

 

So it has to

be saved

and so I

have to be brave

and in this

block out

your soul 

so depraved

and in this

return to

the peace 

I so crave.
