Moon Child (extended)

In the night I walk and play.
In the night I see my prey;
By the light that guides my way,
For the night is as clear as day.

As I look at the silver moon
I pray for forgiveness for what I am about to do.

In the moonlight I see my prey,
For the moon I must obey.

I turn my shape as swift as time.
I howl to give my prey some time.

In a flash he runs with fear.
In a dash I chase with pride,
For I know I’ll never die.

As I see my prey slow down
Not knowing I am around.

I see his features clear as time.
His eyes are green as are mine.

I look in his eyes and see a person that I know,
But my mind is clouded for my hunger has grown

But all he sees is the night and turns to walk with no more fright,
He thinks he is safe and all alone, as he walk a road unknown.

I keep behind at a steady pace,
But something inside tells me to wait.
There is no time to look for another for tonight my mind is made.

I feel the hunger as I wait,
For my hunger I take my shape.

The moon is high and shines so bright,
But it is the moon I must obey,
For it is the moon I pray.

As I watch my tired prey
I think it’s time I must obey.
I leap in attack and with one bite;
He begins to slowly die,
As he cries his last goodbyes.

As he dies he looks straight in my eyes
And sees the evil that is inside

As I stand before my prey, a name comes to mind
And with that name comes a cry for my boyfriend has died.

In the night the moon runs red for I have already fed.
