Blood Lust

What sinister secrets
lurk within my mind,
What raging storms
grip my heart,
What malicious maelstroms
swirl in my eyes,
What demonic forces
torment my soul...
You don't wanna know!

It will only entice you
in its dreadful dragnet
And drag you through
an undead necropolis.

I thirst for the blood
And subsist on the 
life essence of living creatures,
Prowling relentlessly in the
shadows of the moonlit nights
awaiting my next meal.

CROSS your heart 
                 when you see me,
CROSS your heart now 
                 when you read this,
   I can feel you breathe
   Sense your heart pounding 
   Smell the sweat of your fear --

So I said so in truth,
So you have been forewarned!
