Cursed Night

Of all the nights I could have ventured
And now to the night I am indentured
Alas my sorrow which drove me out
Replace my joy with fear and doubt

Last night I sought a place alone
And into loneliness I am thrown
The bites that I bear and my sharpest of teeth
No hope of heaven, just the world beneath

If only I had not stepped into the night
Would not have had to bear such a bloody sight
The prey lay dead but I was there too
You came upon me, no chance against you

You did not kill me, though I thought you would
I have to do things I didn’t believe I could
Being reluctant in the fire I stood
An unwilling vampire, just misunderstood
