Tonight could be the last you see

narrative verse

 

 

Tonight could be the last you see.

 

The night is not my enemy.When darkness falls it sets me free.

Thanks to my night adapted eyes.I take my victims by surprise.

Young health girls preferably,each one is chosen carefully

It is their choice to walk alone before I claim for my own

I drain their blood efficiently ‘til I have fed sufficiently

Although I know there’s sure to be a hue and cry to search for me

By the time that they are found I will have safely gone to ground

To where my coffin waits for me. I sleep peacefully

Until the sun sets in the west then I resume my nightly quest.

I stalk the city stealthily and find fresh victims easily.

Although the old legends persist they don’t believe vampires exist.

Until the night they  catch my eye.Then they believe before they die.

I have to kill to satisfy the burning thirst I can’t deny

I do not slay  for cruelty.I need their blood to sustain me

I am as I was meant to be. The predator you do not see

 until the night you meet your fate. You may not have too long to wait

It could be you I choose tonight to satisfy my appetite.

If you are wise you’ll stay indoor, safe from night prowling predators.

I don’t suppose you’ll pay much heed. Humans are a stubborn breed
