Vampire's Life

Standing in the doorway I see the faces of the dead The corpses of the past , oh how they bring me dread Bringing back to me unwanted memories Of all the chaos I have spread. Sometimes I have dreams that none of it was real But when I awake I yearn for one more meal I try so hard to spare just one innocent life But it doesn't matter for I cannot break the seal. I prowl the shadows in the midst of night A man walks past ,my victim is in sight I come from the shadows and stalk the man Very slowly I lean closer, then take a bite. Suddenly my head and body begin to ache And then my hands slowly begin to shake I realize what I have just done… I have made a grave mistake. I drop to the ground and stare at the lifeless mass Dreading my future… remembering the past And as the sun rises and sets day and night This horrid way of life will forever last.
