Dark and Dangerous Like a Secret

She enters a city of neon lights
 clothed with dark intentions 
 She is a creature of  mystery
 strolling through the shadows of time, forever young

 Having caught the eye of an admirer
 He soon melts into her charms
 His crimson tie gives her a thrill
 She is poised for a night of passion

 But dawn finds her lover alone,
 with a 'hickey' on his neck
 She is not there to meet the sun,
 Having vanished into the night

 She enters the city each night
 dark and dangerous like a secret,
 always ready for a night of passion 
 But first, a bite!
