Analysis of Vampyre
Dark clouds haze over
Their mystery burning
Stirring madness
Each word boils
Chaos seeps through
Veins pumped black
They suffocate the sun
Tearing it from view
Pupils dilate
Keep awake
Stay aware
Listen for their wings
Screams of dismay
Shadows dance
Spinning in death
They sing and rejoice
With each soul they take
Hold tight to yours
Hide in the light
Press your talisman
Whisper your prayers
The night is theirs
Hope they don't find you
Curled into a ball
Fangs gleam white
Using seduction
To get into your jugular
