Eternal Hunger

The midnight victim lay sleeping

peaceful, skin silver in the moonlight.

Outsde, he rests upon her windowsill

watching her chest slowly rising and falling

with every breath she takes.

His pulse can be felt in evey vein

his mouth waters at the thought of his daily feed.

Silently, he flies into the room,

his shape changing to reflect his true form.

His smile reveals the needles

that will puncture her delicate neck.

Quickly he moves to the side of her bed

close enough to hear her heartbeat,

the thought of that rich red blood.

Before she could waken enough to scream

he leans in and sinks his teeth into her neck.

Feasting on another victim

with the knowledge that tomorrow night

she will know the pain of eternal hunger.
