A Vampire's Way

Something bad happened,
Something causes you to cry,
Something bad happened,
And you don't know why.
You always thought they weren't real,
You thought you'd be secure,
They had to be fiction,
But now, you're not too sure.
Your whole family,
On their necks were bites,
Only you survived,
Though horrified by the sights.
You ran away,
In fear and sorrow,
You didn't think
You'd ever see tomorrow.

Into the forest you ran,
Barefoot and sad,
Thinking back on it now
Almost makes you go mad.
Your mind races,
Your beating heart as well,
You weren't watching your footing,
And so you fell.
Face first into the ground,
You just laid there and waited,
Your being full of sorrow,
Your heart was weighted.
You didn't want to get up,
You wanted them to come,
You wanted them to finish,
Though you knew it was dumb.

You heard soft footsteps,
You lifted your head to see,
Instead of seeing a monster
All you saw was me.
I held out my hand,
Gave you a smile,
Just to let you know,
You'd be fine... for a while.
I helped you up,
And held you tight,
Only I could truly see
In the pale moonlight.
You cried in my chest,
You wanted the pain to go,
You wanted some angel,
To answer your questions with a no.

An angel I am,
Though of mercy I am not,
I can feel your blood,
Thick and hot.
Beating quickly,
Under your skin,
To leave you here
Would be a great sin.
I whisper in your ear,
Make you calm down,
Making your sad expression
Turn into a smile instead of a frown.
Using my eyes
To cast a spell on you,
I tilt your head,
And do what I want to do.

I open my mouth,
Letting my fangs come out,
Glad you can't see them,
Otherwise you'd shout.
Glowing in the moonlight,
Though tinted red,
As if, by some odd chance,
I've already fed.
The monster you fear,
I am he,
Though you couldn't know,
What I could be.
Your skin, so smooth,
And paper thin,
Tells me already
That I will win.

I sink my fangs in your neck,
Deep and strong,
Your expression changed,
This had to be wrong.
Though soon you felt pleasure,
Pleasure greater than ever,
This connection, me to you,
You never wanted to sever.
Your blood I drank,
Like a fine, rich wine,
I pulled my fangs out,
And let them shine.

You saw them in the haze,
How they glowed in red,
You reached for your neck,
Exactly where I had fed.
You withdrew from my hold,
Screaming in pain,
Now seeing the monster
You had wanted slain.
You fell to the ground,
I sighed in dispair,
I thought you'd be different,
A beauty so fair.
I withdrew into the shadows,
Leaving you to my pack,
They needed you weak,
I had special powers they did lack.

And so you meet your end,
Sad to say,
But then again,
That's the Vampire's Way.
