Like a Leech

Like a Leech

Thou only shiftst thy reach
When like a leech thine host
Perishes with time's tide;
When shall it end, pray-tell?
Thy life's spent absorbing
The light of all others,
Blackness left in the wake.

I really liked this line-

"Thy life spent absorbing

The light of all others"
