Succubus

Succubus

By Unknown

The creature of pain came to me

Her lies so sweet, her lips so red

Such beauty I have not seen

Yet such darkness, I can not dream

She came for me

I ran to her

My darkest nightmare

An embrace as cold as the wettest grave

Yet I crawled to her

As she feasted on me

I drained away

Each day I grew paler

As her needs drained my life away

But yet I cringed in pain

To see her go

She took my life and drained it all

now she will feed on another

Helpless wonder
