Exsanguinate

Being a pathological people pleaser is a slow suicide.

Blood gushed from her Never-healing wounds She was a fountain of blood Her eyeballs on their skewers Dipped into her blood Blinded her from the truth ~~~~~ Blood type O, Universal Donor So they let her bleed Stuck in this barbarous cycle They dipped into her blood Both seriatim and all at once They took and took and TOOK ~~~~~ She was already an anaemic But they exsanguinated her She shrivelled up, had nothing left Her saviour complex saved them But it didn't save her from them Solipsistic vampires ~~~~~
