Vampire's Kiss

Your skin is cold
But with eyes so warm

But a beast inside
My heart is torn

A tragic life
In which I have lead
To the coming of days
We soon shall wed

But till that time
We have to wait and see

Because your fangs
Are embedded in me

I have become weary
From your sinful acts

Because everyday hunts me
From the pure blood I've lacked
