Vampires Lament

Your skin breaks just like
the skin of an apple would
as my teeth sink in.

The taste of you floods
my dead mind with memories
of sweet Riesling fair,

Days gone, best left dead,
parties of friends buried deep,
a grave gone long cold.

Content I had been,
but did not yet know it then.
Death opened my eyes.

Sweet isolation,
now follows me everywhere,
a pale hallow friend.

My blood lust sated,
you fall to the rocks below,
a victim of me.

I could have turned you,
forced a light friendship to dark,
misery to share.

But love lingered still,
trapped in these immortal cells.
I did all I could.

You sleep the sleep I
seek in my dreams while I sleep
on a bed of nails.

Come to me lost ones,
I will take away the pain,
drink it into me.

I am your pardon
to a life God has sidelined,
your dark god on earth.

Your skin breaks just like
the skin of an apple would
as my teeth sink in.
