He looks so cool, so full of life -
The flushed cheeks, the manly swagger,
Bonhomie exuding from his pores, like his sweat;
But he has a secret - quite a few.
Divorced,
A drunk,
A philanderer,
His qualifications false,
He leans his weight on those around him
And sucks out their force.
The last one you’d expect,
Vampire-man drains ideas, sympathy, emotions,
And leaves everyone feeling faint in his path.
Vampire-Man
Based on a character who was a complete fake and who literally left people feeling drained after they’d met him.
This is a verse of the poem "As I walked home"
