Vampire's Visit

An open window smiled invitingly,
she laughed and slowly crept into his room,
he slept on unaware of pending doom,
she smiled, her fangs a scary sight to see.

She softly stroked his face and kissed his throat,
he didn't waken as she broke the skin
and lapped the spurting blood that flooded in,
so sated that her form began to bloat.

Unseen, his wife was watching, grinning wide;
the vampire saved a former battered bride.

written 18th November for Constance's V (vampire) contest
