In Night

 In night I walked,
Cloaked in shadow and shrouded in mist.
For you I would face the dawn
For him I would live on.
It was a gift one always wanted
Immortality, a chance to dance with the dead,
Purity of night and the iridescent moon-
Lures into a fantasy world.

The hunger rode, and the desire thumped
Hard and cutting, driving deep.
The passion hit, the desire broke and for you -
I fell.
Into arms white as snow and eyes black to match the night
Hunger paused and the grip I held on life slipped.

Begging I turned away, pleading I held on tight
For you
With a bite and moan you sank further into my soul
Etched in passion with interlocked embrace
For you I died.
For you I lived.
Cursed, gifted
Shrouded in night and cloaked in mist.
