Dracula: Before these teeth sucked blood
Location
Before these teeth sucked blood?
That’s a distant memory
One coated in infinite agony
I saw her there, in the field, lying half-dead in mud
I was warned once to stay away from the one with black hair
Within the pitch black darkness I ran to save her
I had never thought myself to be braver
If I hadn’t, perhaps I would not have been a part of a curse-ridden affair
I carried her, one arm on my shoulder
To my cabin we went, to the fire we would warm
I ran and ran to escape the hail storm
Nearing the cabin door, it became difficult to hold her
I looked at the pale girl and her skin began to malform
A giant bat! she took flight, tossing me inside
Then she confronted me and roared “Why’d? Why’d?”
She shrouded in black and began to transform, a beautiful ideal form
I ask myself now why? Why would I take action
She talked of fear and blamed her cursed blood
Nothing made me love her as much as when I saw her eyes flood
That moment was one that I felt unmatchable attraction
We escaped together from those hunters, so prodigious
As lovers we lived, until she kissed me on my vein
And it's that first kiss that brought me such pain
They found her and burned her in the name of something religious
My blood burned for revenge and I loved the thought
I would use my curse to fill the world with vile
You can believe in my madness, I truly did smile
I would bring to them the misery that they brought
I swore that day she left me behind
That they would woe the day that they took her away from being mine
