your instincts are troubled
something deep inside is giving warning
the vampires are out -
she won't be safe till morning
         she has what they want
          she has what they need
        the question is
       how much is she willing to bleed
will she succumb
            to charms so dark
      and surrender to the bite
will she feign resistance
       only to abandon the fight
                          she is hungry
                        and she enjoys the thrill
             it's the seduction of being
 ...

the distance creates an emptiness
                   an uncomfortable chill
While I can conceal the hurt
                    I remain wounded still
with a heavy heart
            and a lonely ache
    I return the heart
               that in the end
    I could not take
too complicated to simplify
I get tangled in the words
for the straight line that was
has been lured to curve

The pursuit of an intoxicating dream
that has held me  captive for days
is piercing my heart in the
                         cruelest of ways
for I dreamt with much remorse
                       and much regret
of a forsaked love I cannot forget  -
forsaken not of spite nor of hate
     but of  precious innocence
             that simply matured too late

        to taste her smile
               to partake in her dreams
         to live in the moment
                in the echo of her screams
