Thirst
I succumb to the alleviation
of my mortal pain.
He sucked my veins
with a parched greed in his thirst.
Past those trivial clots
in my bloodstream.
The mundane human curse.
I'm drained bone dry, but do not die.
I wonder if anyone can see the developing
immortal glint in my eye.
Like veins of harsh lightning
in a once innocent sky.

I don't know. If it were a painting I would call it done.
The metaphor has a satisfying finality to it that works very well for the topic.
Suitable for framing as is.

Now! This is the darkness between twilight and the marrow in the bone. Excellent, if I were to vote,

This has a unique attitude in it, like someone betrayed you in some disheartening fashion. The visuals you use depict death, almost. I like how you put in there that you don't die. Sometimes, it takes going through such things to learn and heal from to make us stronger and better people. They say what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, and there's some truth to that. Anyway, yes, dark picture overall. It's like you're aching to be free from what troubles you, and almost turning towards a vengeance or seeking justice. Almost like you transform entirely, from such betrayal. Whether casual or a relationship, I think this has much potential application, in taking some useful interpretation to oneself. Again, solid emotion in your metaphors, as always. Just some of my input. Thanks for sharing!

I do ache internally so be free of my troubles with a vengeance sometimes. Sometimes my inner voice worms it's way in, when it wasn't invited, lol. Your perception is superb as always and is so very much appreciated. You have no idea.

Remind me to bring a mirror the next time we meet... next time? Yeah, just in case you have turned into a vampire. You have been hinting heavily about it lately & it's got me worried! Great write! 🤣👍

I enjoyed the poem. I have not read a lot of fantasy poems. That's the best way I can describe it. I apologize if that is incorrect.
