Stalking the streets for prey,

So many warm hearts beating.

Stay clear out of my way,

Souls ready for the reaping.

I walk amongst them all, feeding and raping,

Time to remove this mask.

From within my breast, It is escaping,

I can no longer keep this task.

Lips dripping,

Salivating, taste of blood.

Flesh ripping,

Hear it distantly thud.

Smell the warm skin,

See the light in their eyes.

Pierce the body within,

Listen to meaningless cries.

It paces in my ribcage,

Awaiting its next meal.

Must sate the rage,

Or be consumed is our deal.

Hunger. Unquenchable thirst. Lust,

Call it what you will.

To devour you all, it must,

The ritual carnage, my thrill.

Understand me, no one can,

The craving I endure unbearable.

I afford to bare my fangs to no man,

They’ll put me down, how terrible.

It calls me for the blood of man,

This hunger inside given to me.

It makes me what I am,

Pray you never see.

It makes me feel alive,

When I’m out on the hunt.

In the darkness I hide,

Placed in cold affront.

Why can’t I be this way?

They stare for they know.

How dare they stop my Feast Day?

My calling will only grow.

They say I’m jaded,
Hiding from the Day?
To their souls I’m faded,

So they shall taste my pain.

What is feeling?

Am I falling?

Flesh leaves me reeling,

Your spirit is calling.

How dare you look down on me?
You will be amazed,

With what you see.

This fanatical smile cracked and crazed.

I will kill a million petty souls,

But yours is the one I cannot sleep without.

You’ve played games with this heart of old.

My fear is fading but I can’t speak,

For my grave shall be dug.

Alas, this entity of my charged heart reaches peak!

My heartstrings at which you tug…

It howls and shrieks while tossing,

You thought you could save me?

It rips at its coffin,

The only thing for you to do is flee.

Alone am I without a care.

I watch you walking, waiting,

This desire I cannot bear.

I am hoping and hating.

You see Hell in me, I see Fear in your eyes.

Touching you makes me die.

You spot me without surmise.

Killing you makes me feel alive inside.

I tear you apart,

Limb by limb, sinew and sinew,

Searching for that beating heart,

Stop searching my face, you!

I cannot relate,

Feeling this blackness grow,

To a happy state,

Only to wallow in my death throes.

Why won’t you just die?!

Go to the eternal slumber,

With your blood in mine,

About, I lumber.

Your death takes eternity,

Ebbing life taunting,

Leave this earth and leave me!

Your dying gasps haunting.

It keeps me down,

It tempts me and provokes the Ministry,

Shatters my self-glorified crown,

I am dying with you so easily.

Your body should be mine,

To consume.

Then we’ll be fine,

But in your pain am I entombed.
