So long ago,
I dreamt of this
Wondering how it felt,
Yet now as I embrace my death,
I know more than death's been dealt.
Two points of pain
pierce my neck and blood flows free
caught by his gentle lips,
An immortal I'll soon be.
His hands hold me tight
But I've never wished to run,
Softly his voice brings me back
and finally it is done.
Now I feel death near,
calling out my name
Softly his hand presses my lips,
and to my mouth blood came.
A hot fire runs through me
making me twist and squirm
pain and heat contorts me,
yet he holds me firm.
Softly he tells me
that soon it will be done,
that it's the choice I've made
and from it I can't run.
The pain begins the lessen
and my senses come alive,
every scent and every sight,
immortality arrives.
Easily he lifts me
his eyes dark and hollow,
the light comes he says,
and the darkness we must follow.
As we leave,
fleeing from the sun
I begin to understand
that this night cannot be undone.
Immortality is forever
and death will ever escape me
that was why he begged
and said a mortal I should be.
I regret this kiss
for I never thought of it's power
but it's too late now,
as my meal before me cowers.
