Endless Hunger and Endless Loss

Her lips are stained with the scarlet blood of the one she loves.
 She stands, his lifeless body falling from her embrase.
She gathers her things and leaves, her hunger satisfied but her heart starving.
 As she leaves her lovers apartment a silent tear slides down her cheek.
She is filled with grim aceptance though.
 For she knows the life of a vampire is filled with endless hunger and endless loss.
