Kissing the night

True vampires do not sparkle or stalk children. True immortals have no need to mind the short-lived prey. We are the strong, the beautiful and this world belongs to us.

There is a chill in the air

In this city where rivers run red

The mortals live without a care

Unaware of those who are undead

The world is old but so am I

Centuries of cold nights have I seen

In this world where all Men must die

I am the thing in the night, a gentleman fiend

My thirst is slaked on the blood of Men

Like cattle they come to the slaughter

Religion would curse me and call me damned

Yet in the dark I am full of luster

Do you not kill to survive?

How then am I so different?

We do what we must to stay alive

Who are you to pass judgement?

I love you still, my fragile friend

I would watch you close like a lover

Although on your blood is what I depend

Your sacrifice makes me...forever

Wow this was really good:)! I like how you put human kill against a vampires kill saying isn't it the same? :)

[Christopher Angel]

Thank you :) Yes, it's all the same isn't it? We kill others to survive. We hunt for food. In the end, it's all relative no matter how much morality people want to imbue it with :) I'm glad you noticed that!

[RainDancer1997]

well that is very true:) and your welcome:)
