It's been days



I'm deteriorating



My senses weakening



I'm so hungry



I can't remember the last time I had something hot slip past my gums



I walk in the bar to get out of the rain



People everywhere



So tempting



I hear so many hearts beating



Every person that walks by I can smell so well



Where they've been



What their blood type is



All of a sudden



I hear the sweetest sound






I hear you breathing



I feel your heart beating in every inch of my lifeless body



My mouth waters



I spot you



I see your veins quiver and pulse under your skin



As if your skin were see through



I could count every vein



Your smell is so sensual



I sit at the bar



Just listening to you being alive



The amazing sounds you make






If only you knew what I feel



The heat in my face



My nerves on edge



Unable to sit still



So anxious



The animal taking over



Ever sense on overdrive



Clutching my drink



I feel the glass about to break



I am squeezing it so hard






I can't hear the music



Your blood is so loud



Your heart beat hypnotizes me



Like the rhythm of a voodoo drum



It's like adrenalin



My heart would be racing



If it still was beating



My breathing would be panicky and short



If I had any breath



I don't know what I'll do if I can't have you



I need you



I see you have noticed me as I have you






You stare from across the room



You smile



I smile back



If you only knew the danger



Of simply looking at me



You can't help yourself



You leave you seat



You glide across the floor



You come and sit next to me



"Are you thirsty?"



"Yes."



If you only knew...



We lock eyes



I have you now



And you won't get away... alive






I ask you to kiss me



Of course you can't say no



Your so close



Your breath caresses my lips



I almost take you



So many witnesses



It would be a massacre



I pull back from the pain



The need for you hurts me



We stare at one another



Not speaking a word



Just living in our gaze






I order you drink after drink



So you blood is nice and thin



We talk and laugh



As if this were a date



I ask you to follow me outside



I help you off your stool



As we walk from the bar



You come without a word



Just a smile



We go through the front door



I ask you to do something for me



I whisper it to you



Pulling your curls back from your ear



"Follow me."



"Okay."



We walk into the ally hand in hand



But our evening is coming to an end






I stop you



You look at me... so confused



I grab your shoulders



Feeling the life in your body



Now in my hands



I smell the life in you



I slam you up against a wall



You seem surprised



But you don't even fight



I run my icy, cold lips up and down your warm neck



I can feel your pulse much better now



You rap your arms around me



Holding me as tightly as I hold you



Your heart beat is louder and more intense then ever



I can't fight it any longer



I kiss you deeply as if saying...



Thank you



You nuzzle me trying to find skin



I bite



Your swan like neck pulling away



You gasp for air



Though it won't come






Every emotion is rushing through my body



The amber, hot liquid is sweeter then I remembered it to be



It flows so beautifully from your body into me



Like a dance



I feel the warmth of your body against mine



Lost in our hot embrace



The world is spinning



A million thoughts



Do you have family...?



Do you have children...?



Are you in love...?



No one will know what happened to you






Then reality hit again



Your heart beats faster and faster



Then slows



I can barely hear it now



Just a soft tap



Your eyes close



Your feeble body now limp in my strong hands



I pull back stopping myself



Your eyes glazed



Your skin pale



Lips blue



You try to speak



But no word can be made



I hold you close again



Tears in my eyes






I am warm again


Warmer then I've ever been



I am strong again



Stronger then I've ever been



And filled with your life



Your heart beats too slow for you to stay awake now



I lay you gently on the ground



I bite my wrist and let my own blood drip on your wounds



I watch them vanish and my blood turn to ash



I kiss you good-bye



I tell you how thankful I am for you to have fed me



I tell you I don't know if you will live



Even though you can't hear me






I disappear into the night once more



So the city is safe again from me



I am a man



But not human



My heart no longer beats

I no longer breathe


I am a carnivorous animal that stalks the night


The living are my meals


And I a Vampire...
