A Vampire's Memoir

As I stalked the night,
And kissed the sun goodbye.
Never loving a soul,
Blood is what I cry.

The moon is my only friend,
It's all that I can see.
Trying to keep the urges back,
But it just starves me.

Walking through the city,
Avoiding mirrors with every turn.
Watching women and children walk by,
Starring at their necks, I yearn.

I try not to give in,
But the craving is just too strong.
I've gone on without anything,
I've suffered for far too long.

I turn around,
And follow these souls home.
I enter the door in secrecy,
But then I hear the phone.

I hear the woman speaking,
Her doctor says she's going to die.
I listen very close to the voices,
And start to wonder why.

I peak through the daughters door,
She is asleep in her bed.
I walk in so quietly,
And slowly tilt back her head.

Before I get a chance to bite,
I think back to the mothers conversation.
That mother needs comforting,
I step back from all the frustration.

I shake my head,
"Get with it, why are you holding back!?"
I look at the little soul sleeping,
And wonder why I cannot attack.

How can I have feelings,
How can I be pure.
Is it passion that's saved her,
Is that a vampires cure!?

I step back into the den,
I see the mother crying.
I know why she's upset,
How can she tell her daughter she's dying?

I leave that home,
And start walking again.
Talking to myself,
And my sky bound friend.

I fall to my knees,
As I remember that night.
The night I was passionate,
And could not bite.

In this memoir,
This story stuck in my head.
I am the lifeless heart,
I am the walking dead...

...Yet my heart did beat that night....
