Blood tears...A vampire poem

How can it be that tears fill your eyes?

Staggering back dripping blood

I almost believe your heart broken cries

As together we fall into the mud

Your soul wrenching sobs filling the dark

Gasping for each burning breath

As you twist the stake closer to my heart

Lips touch tasting the coming death

Your soft guilty pleas all I hear

As my hand raises high

Bloody fingers shaking as I wipe tears

Unable to bear seeing you cry

From the first time I saw you in the light

I knew you were mine

So I dragged you into the deep night

This was only a matter of time

Sweet fresh and oh so young

Your new fangs shining perfect

But not all things can be undone

And I die with a heart of regret

My love please forgive me

For taking you far away

Making something you didn't want to be

And stealing you from the light of day

But nothing can reverse my kiss

Before you fell into deaths embrace

You will be and are forever mine

Despite the blood tears on my face

So as I fade into ashes and dust

Leaving you alone in the night air

In my word you will finally trust

Vampire hunters never ever care

They have used you my little dove

There is no cure for death

So press in and destroy our love

As you desperately seek your living breath

But come the rising sun

You will still be a creature of the night

Left alone with what you’ve done

Forever trapped in your plight

There is no reversing my kiss

And in the coming day

Your undead heart won’t be missed

No matter what the hunters say

So scream your pain into the dark

Desperate to get free

The stake finally piercing my broken heart

Your tears the last thing I see……
