A Vampire Sleep

Drifting off to sleep
As the night wraps me in shadows
Pressing in
Close and comforting

And then you came

Whisking me away to a land of nevers

Never to come back
Never to feel the warmth of the sun
Never to really live life again

But that doesn't matter
Because now I have you
And during the day
While the heat scorches and I hide
I think of you.

And during the night
You teach me to love.
To love forever
