Vampire

In raven black shade
I make my stride
Await your invitation
To let me inside

My appetite roused
To commit this sin
Once you’re alone
You allow me in

I’ve hungered so long
For this night to arrive
It’s indulging this urge
That makes me feel alive

You’re so enthralled
Put under my spell
You’re as a servant
Obeying so very well

Briefly, I belong
Or so I pretend
If only, if only
It soon wouldn’t end

Most grim, my feeling
As frailty took the night
And once more I fled
Before morning’s light

No one will learn
Of my immoral charade
I hide now, alone
The monster you made
