~Vampire~

An exquisitely young and lovely girl.
Lain on her back before me, her life unfurled.
Silken hair askew in a spiral swirl.

Her hand dangling from the altar, skin pale as a bone.
Fingers slowly open, the contents of her hand now shown.
Flower drifting to the floor, it's final flight flown.

Shadows slowly crawling across the floor.
Moonlight gradually retreating from the door.
The time is now a quarter past four.

Cold winter air.
The wind whips at my long flowing hair.
So it is that i gaze upon my lair.

Another night hunting spent.
Blood enough drank to pay yet another day's rent.
From this life there is no repent.

Yet another lovely maiden lain dead.
Once more the guilt echoing through my head.
Already i feel a new hunger that will soon need to be fed.

Vampire is the name by which i go.
Heartless creature, cold as January snow.
I live but i am not alive, hell is all i know.

Retreating to my tomb i must sleep, close my eyes.
Tormented until sunset by my victim's cries.
My makers promises...nothing but lies.

You're more than welcome sweetness! Hope you have a wicked day!

~Today~
Loneliness, staring into the night.
All of us dreaming of someone to make us feel right.

We all believe we can find warmth in the cold.
Find someone to stand beside us as we grow old.

We're all afraid to die alone.
We want to share our memories, so that the world will remember the path we've flown.

My days shrouded in darkness, this is all that i know...
From my heart, the words easily flow;

The feelings i feel, all seeming to grow.
It is your touch i so desperately need to know.

To feel your heat on the coldest of nights,
To feel your back against mine, no matter how bloody the fight.

As in your dreams, give yourself to me,
I am here waiting to at last set you free.

Reach out, take my hand.
Close your eyes and dream of a far away land.

On the wings of dreams we will fly there together.
Your hand in mine, we will live there forever.

Open your eyes baby, see my smile.
Just lean back in my arms, and relax for a while.

Remember the days we spent this way.
I can not promise you tomorrow, but baby....


I promise you today.
