His brown eyes glowing in the darkest nights, They burn like embers in my tortured mind. I see him when the candles lose their light, He comes only then for he is that kind. Through the days I walk, dreaming of the dark. I know I'm not the first to feel the pain. With every new love he leaves his mark. I should have known I had nothing to gain. The loss I would feel was not my own heart, Through only my death would I feel love's fire. This experience was only one part, My soul would be lost to feel his desire. Though I would be dead, my love wouldn't die, As the world turned to hear the vampire's cry. DW © 2-15-91
