    A Vampire In Love?


    I lay beside you,
    You're so unknowing
    So unprepared
    So naive
    You think I love you
    You think I won't kill you,
    You, that which I love...

    Watching you in darkness
    Waiting for your breath to slow
    Waiting for your dreams to come
    Waiting for the deep deep sleep
    Finally, you're ready
    Reach out and touch your tender cheek
    Reach out and feel the life in your skin

    If my heart was beating,
    It'd thump from my chest
    If I had to breathe,
    It'd be in gasps for this moment
    Stroking your hair
    Watching your face
    Hearing your heartbeat
    Almost tasting your blood

    Hesitation...
    Why? I don't love you
    Why can't I bend over you
    I've done it before...
    So many before
    Why are you different
    Your hair in the moonlight...
    Your skin in that silver glow
    Why can't I bite you?

    Frustration
    Bend over you
    Touch your neck with my lips
    Taste that sweetness
    Feel that blood
    What is this?
    Why can't I open my jaw?
    Why can't I take you?
    Why can't I drain you?

    I swear I love you not
    I swear I cannot care for you
    I am a vampire...
    You are my meal
    What is this?
    This weakness, this struggle
    I lay back down again...
    What have I become?
    A vampire in love...
    Who's heard of such a thing...?
