Vampire

In this dark no light filters through

This infinite life is but torture without you

No shadows playing on the wall

No voices to reply when I scream or call

My body does not age but my soul grows old

My memories so clear creating pain untold

I sit in the emptiness of my own heart

Not knowing where it ends or when did it start

The bitter taste of iron lingers upon my tongue

The smell rising from the pools of blood that I sit among

This was once you and I wanted you forever

Our embrace entangled unbroken together

I could not stop I drained your very essence

Now all I feel is your disembodied presence

The love I had for you turned to greed

I took and I took until I felt I was freed

It was moments when we could have had years

Now I sit alone surrounded by all of my fears

Time never stops when you are all alone

Day by day my heart hardens turning to stone
