Death as My Lover

Death as My Lover

She held me captivated, with her eyes
black as the deepest of all nights
She pulled me in, and bit my skin
dull and drowsy, blood leaks, she wins.

she whispered bad things, sad things in my ear
and laughed as she said them, so as not to cry
we laid there for so long in the cold, cold grass
The days with her, tender and hidden, just seemed to last...

A war never to be won
because I've already lost
when I barely have enough
life left to hang on.

So with vampire teeth, gently ripping my lips
stroking my hair, shredding, blood on her claws
my eyes wide open and awed, never to close
but still I loved her evermore, past the flaws

Time was spun slowly, dazed in a grey misty dream
letting her do to me, take from me, anything.
caressing my shivering skin, her touch like ice
but the burning inside, silent, a soul the price.

A war never to be won
because I've already lost
when I barely have enough
life left to hang on.

Then she let go, held me looser than ever
until she glided out of my frozen sight
and so I laid there still, no leaves rustled
time hung in mid-air, between dusk and dawn.
Forever. gone.

~This is a metaphor, i have no same-sex lovers but I depict Death as female, so wanted to stay true to the feeling.

    **So with vampire teeth, gently ripping my lips
    stroking my hair, shredding, blood on her claws

    I did a poem almost exactly like this before except I turned death into some kind of male evil angel. This was good.
