A Real Vampire
A real vampire,
It's not blood he seeks
But your love he eats.
He doesn't come in the dead of night
He walks up to you in broad daylight
Introduces himself so charming.
No clue to you,
It's your defenses
He's disarming.
A real vampire,
Feeds off your soul and energy
Taking and taking never giving.
Not looking like an enemy.
I trust him,
After all he's a friend to me
Until one day you look in the mirror,
It's not the vampire that's vanished
But you that has disappeared.
A real vampire,
You will never see his fangs
Never feel his stick.
He will drink you dry
And then say goodbye
Leaving you love sick.
It's not blood he seeks
But your love he eats.
He doesn't come in the dead of night
He walks up to you in broad daylight
Introduces himself so charming.
No clue to you,
It's your defenses
He's disarming.
A real vampire,
Feeds off your soul and energy
Taking and taking never giving.
Not looking like an enemy.
I trust him,
After all he's a friend to me
Until one day you look in the mirror,
It's not the vampire that's vanished
But you that has disappeared.
A real vampire,
You will never see his fangs
Never feel his stick.
He will drink you dry
And then say goodbye
Leaving you love sick.

interestingly morbid yet romantic!
the thing that i would change is the "he" and instead of that i would write they so as to avoid being sexist

I agree with Opheliac but other than that I think this is rather epic, I love your view on the old 'Vampy' tale. Nice, very nice, Crimsin.

And especially the ending! I think the word 'he' is fine, contradicting the other two comments, since vampires are normally perceived as 'he's' and a female vampire wouldn't necessarily leave you love sick if this was a self poem unless your sexual views were different (which is fine..).
I'll never think of 'Twilight' vampires the same now. They are fairies anyway.
Reading list material, dear.

I am strongly anti twilight so dont think Of me being a total ass here but im glad there is nothing refrencing to twilight and i give you kudos because the legend of vampires and werewolves is practically dead because of ghat f*cking book i could rant on that sh*t for hours and maybe days if i include the f*cking fans and so called actors and actresses. Anyway love the poem!
