In the darkness that surrounds
There’s an alley abandoned
And a vampire that roams
He drinks blood from his victims
From brokenhearted women
He thinks that he’s saving them
From the pain of sour love
But he’s hurting them more
Because a love that is sour
Can become sweet at last
When a heart is open once more
To the possibility of a new beginning
And letting love in without restraint
Even if there is bitterness along the way

The flow of this poem is like sliding down a gentle sliding board! The last stanza shows how you always look for the good in any situation, Lena.......gentle soul. <3
ReplyDeleteTo me, your "vampire" is very real in real life. I have seen men like this "at work." Sadly, vulnerable women are often taken in, much their dismay later on. Nicely done, Lena.
ReplyDeleteLena, I'm sure you've captured the hearts of the vampires seeking to comfort broken hearted souls...awww, the mysteries of the vampire! Loved This Lena, magnificent images painting a canvas of fear for women.
