Dark Night
My movements make no sound,
My footsteps quick and light.
I glide on down the darkened street,
Accompanied by the night.
Passing mortal strangers,
Who look the other way.
I'm intoxicated by their scent,
These creatures are my prey.
I stop beneath a street lamp,
Where they can see my face.
Seeing my unnatural skin,
They soon quicken their pace.
Their cowardess amuses me,
Those eyes so full of fear.
I throw my head back and laugh,
For all of them to hear.
Stepping form the light,
I'm hidden by the dark.
Continuing along my path,
I reach a lonely park.
Sitting on a wooden bench,
A girl cries silently.
Her face is streaked with salty tears,
She fails to notice me.
Her body shakes with sobs,
But still I hear her beating heart,
Within her chest it throbs.
Slowly I approach her,
Until I'm by her side.
Admiring her tender cheeks,
I see her tears have dried.
I move my face in towards her neck,
And hover there for a while.
Much to my surprise,
She looks directly at me and smiles.
She looks me in the eyes,
Her eyes a deepest blue.
And with the softest lips I've ever seen,
She mouths the words "Thank you".
I sink my teeth into her flesh,
On blood is what I thrive.
I drink till I can drink no more,
Again I am alive.
