Vampire

I look in the mirror and nothing is there. I cry but there’s no trace of tears. I scream and the night wind answers my call. I am just what everyone fears. I fly through the shadows under the moon. In darkness I’ve hunted and fed. I bleed through the alleys, my hunger as guide And I follow wherever I’m led. I am not a legend, I am real. I am free! I run with the beasts in the wild. I cannot be taken. I’ll never be tamed, But I’ll never be loved, just reviled. While you are sleeping, I enter your dreams. I’m the cold chill that runs down your back. My thirst is stronger than your will to live. I am everything you wish to lack. I hypnotize with the sound of my voice, My eyes absorb all trace of light. I hide in the darkness under the earth But at nightfall I always take flight. I know you can hear me, you know what I need. I can feel the warmth in your bones. I long to take you into my embrace But I’m doomed to be always alone. Oh, I’ll be alive forever. And I will be dead for all time. Survival is really my only endeavor But my soul will never be mine. No, my soul will never be mine…
