You were my vampire once

Because you are my vampire
And you have mercilessly taken everything away from me
You are my vampire,
And you have slowly drained me of all emotion

I used to love you once
Gently, softly you demanded more, demanded proof
Until all too soon that vanished, and I was left lost
I summoned anger to combat the hole
But you took that too with tear-filled eyes and pleas of forgiveness
With the strongest gone there was only the weak left
And depression claimed my soul
You ripped that away from me
For wasn't it you who told me pain was weak?
With just a gaping hole left, I settled comfortably into numb
But you couldn't even leave me that
Chiselling and chipping away at the edges of the empty well within
Wearing me away from the inside out
Concrete and mortar falling away far too easily for my liking,
But I had nothing left to feel with

I found mortar, and bricks, and bracing as well
I will be stronger than you thought possible
When you took all of my weapons, all of my defences
With whispered words of love and tenderness.
You never though this would happen;

You thought you'd left me broken
The day you gave me back my withered excuse for a heart
