Starveling
Wake me
when the sky is dark
and moonlight's wither
stunts roses bloom
Take me
with your heart
out into the night
where creatures shriek
and the raven swoons
Lead me from the dust
of an empty grave
to sate the lust
that feeds my crave
Carry me with you
always
that I may rise
and leave this tomb
for I have slept too long
in the darkened gloom
spurned lonely wasted lifetimes
poor starveling
without you
when the sky is dark
and moonlight's wither
stunts roses bloom
Take me
with your heart
out into the night
where creatures shriek
and the raven swoons
Lead me from the dust
of an empty grave
to sate the lust
that feeds my crave
Carry me with you
always
that I may rise
and leave this tomb
for I have slept too long
in the darkened gloom
spurned lonely wasted lifetimes
poor starveling
without you
