Death of a Vampire

She had the most haunting eyes
She was evil in disguise
She slept peacefully throughout the day
At night men would become her prey

Her lips were so erotic
Her smile was hypnotic
I had to ignore the sensual feeling
She had a body so appealing

I asked to meet her in the sunlight
She said she preferred the twilight
I asked her why not during the day
She replied I’d rather not say

Then she whispered I’ll leave you never
If I bite you, you’ll live forever
She said biting a man’s neck thrilled her
But she bit a lawyer and the poison killed her.
