Starvation

Vampire struggles with the hungry beast within.

Damn this hunger
The Beast inside counts till the moon rise.
I can no longer contain it
My grip is slipping
Sniffing at life
Searching out the tasties
Licking at their fear

Damn this hunger
Intensely burning in my throat
“One wouldn’t be missed”
Not convincing myself
I feel my control decompressing
Swelling like a sponge
My conscience mind consumed

Damn this hunger
Scratching for release
Wanting sweet human nectar
Dripping down my chin
Eyes wild in the frenzy
Face flush with carnage
Prey's life removed

Damn this hunger
Nothing can save me
No doctor or priest
No herb nor incantation
Crimson metallic wine my only savior
I am, Damned
Damned by this hunger
