A Dark Tale

He walks alone with rain pounding on his head Blood lust in his eyes, his heart is dead He walks slowly though the night Each step illuminated by a lightning strike - A woman looks out the window of her dorm In fear of the violence in the storm Lightning illuminates the sky And a dark figure catches her eye Opening her door she walks down stairs Exiting the building, she's immensely scared But for some reason she feels she must approach That dark figure, the man drenched and soaked - He watches her approach with lifeless eyes Right between the two, lightning strikes from the sky Then an unknown emotion flickers on his face He grabs her and gives her lips a quick taste Then he smiles and holds her by his side Seemingly in a trance by her grey eyes Together they continue to walk Its not long before they vanish in the dark --- They say love tames and i think this was a case Where his blood lust was overpowered by her sweet taste The power of love is extremely strong But i think love was also the reason that he first went wrong
