Halls of the Dark Muse

Love is a Vampire

Breaking my nails
against your skin,
I need you to bleed
so you will be a part
of me.

I am always
wailing inside this
cage, watching my
heart beat in your
hands.

And I want to
feed upon you
so your soul will always
be mine.

But you leave me
in the darkness
on the floor among
shattered glass
and broken bones.

Why don you pick
me up again?

Why must I watch you
always walk out the door?

I just want
to reach inside of you,
keep you here in my
forever.

Tired of wearing these
chains, you think you can
keep me at a safe distance.

I see it now and
wonder who is left
holding the wooden
stake?

As I plunge it into my heart,
watching as you die
with each slowing beat.

You thought you could
walk away but there
is no forever without me.

You took my heart out
so I stole yours in the night,
now it drains your life
away with my last
breath upon your lips.
