Me Refashioned

There you are
A moment ago you wasn’t there.
Then as if out of nowhere you came
Making this grand entrance into my life.
Like an imp, a gnome
Like little Miss nobody who never was
But always were.
From the very first time we got connected
you have hunted me
chased me as if I was a renegade
like a maroon I dwelt in the inner most part of the forest
even with look-outs barriers and fortifications
you raced to my heart…to my core
these defences no match for your determination
for there you had to be….
Of me..control you have taken.
Possession of me – my soul, my heart, my mind, my body - have been your every intent.
For since you have found me
my life you have completely rejigged – you have torn me apart
Only to refashion me in your image - with your mercy less claws.
You held me in this secure grip and wicked embrace
mixing your blood with mine with your blood sucking fangs
with your tongue darting, probing down my ear
At the same time nibbling whilst softly saying my name Willy
arousing me back to life.
Then you proceed to complete the staking of your claim.

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction): 
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Is the internal logic consistent?

I see it has been awhile since your last post, so welcome back. I love a good dark poem, vampire poems included. Interesting title, language usage and structure. I liked these lines best:
