Robbed

They always smile in such peaceful stares
when stopping to suck your seconds,
but they are in charge and rules are rules
so you must listen to every word
even if they are dribbling confusion
flowing with nothing except distraction.

The big hint they don’t care
comes when they check their watches
like they were baking some cake
and deciding when it is done.

Later they walk away
content over their robbing another life,
sad it is when one person
has no real life to live
thus must suck away other’s minutes
just for the feel,
a simple thrill of being a time vampire
while just an undead soul inside.
