Victory

Victory against all odds

Against this thing in my blood

It swims

Bloodier than blood

Dies daily

bit by bit

Slowly returning

back to blood

blood on blood

i watch my bloody soul drain

as

the vampires fill the glass vials

into shiny tubes of hope

they smile finding the fat juicy vein

stabbing the wiggling nightcrawler under my skin

as the needle penetrates

i think to myself

"Victory"
