A Hunger Unfed

In moonlit shadows, she roams alone,
A hunger unfed, a heart of stone.

Her crimson gaze seeks out the night,
Yearning for blood, her only delight.

A vampire cursed with endless thirst,
Her soul consumed, her conscience cursed.

Through darkened streets, she silently 
prowls, Seeking prey with unearthly howls.

But in her eyes, a glimmer of pain,
Longing for peace, for love in vain.

Her fangs may hunger for the red,
But in her heart, a hunger for the dead.

A tragic figure of the night,
Bound by darkness, shunning the light.

A hunger unfed, a soul in despair,
Forever she is lost in the vampire's lair.

Dear Jeanine, A haunting portrait of longing and despair. The imagery of the vampire's relentless thirst juxtaposed with her inner turmoil is powerful. It evokes a sense of empathy for her tragic existence, trapped between primal urges and a yearning for something deeper. I loved your portrayal of darkness and inner conflict for it is both captivating and poignant. Brilliant work! - Blessings, Daniel
