Like a nightwalker you needed to feed Nothing could satiate your need Just to hear the sound of your voice... You were my drug of choice For so long all I did was bleed

rhyme scheme, OK
but the rhythm is amiss.
a fine poem, but not really limericky.

I think he is trying to describe the serious problem of his habitual bloodletting through the application of leeches (An ancient practice that is regaining credibility in modern medical circles). Of course, this would have initially been for medicinal purposes, but users have been known to develop a grotesque dependence on the practice.
