the vampire blues

once you pull back
the curtain
and you reveal what
you know
to be true.
game over.
once
the light shines
on that cave of darkness.
like vampires
they can no longer
exist in your life.
they fall apart,
skin and bones dissolve.
they've lost their
source that you provided.
you no longer
enable and turn
the other cheek, you
no longer
allow a single white
lie to exist.
you laugh at their
pretensions.
you bring the sun, you
let it shine.
they run. they hide.
a part of them dies
and you survive.
