Dark Shadows

His eyes held a dead brilliance 
Showing an empathy and compassion
Did his soul embrace any resilience 
How she brought infinite passion 

Standing over her he felt a vulnerability 
Fascination he had in her left him confused
As an inhuman beast he had capability 
To leave her alone he would refuse 

Her pulsating blood drew his attention 
Thoughts of its warm stickiness so red 
Gave him an undeniable appreciation 
Standing in the shadows as the undead 

Disciplined willpower not to have a taste
Though entombed by its very smell 
Consequences of these actions, a waste 
For she was his never ending hell

Though hell he knew well as a vampire 
He could enter her mind, and hypnotize
See he wanted her for his own empire 
Wanted her love but that she has to realize

Actions he’d rather not deal with consequences 
Now he cursed his profound moral compass
He only hoped she’d come to her senses 
Decision and out come she must encompass
