Vampire

Embedded image from another site


To cause someone such a pain was not enough
Than to choke the void with shame would conquer love
To give someone this emptiness as a gift
You would fill the box with lies and wrap it up with promises

So reach inside I just dont care
You wont find anything in there
Just a broken heart made of clay
And arteries filled with a bitter taste
I just thought I could be your friend
But your fangs were sharp in the end
What I see in your eyes is a liar
The beautiful death of my vampire

Turn on the TV to turn the silence down
Because the voices from inside they echo loud
Feeling dragged until the finger nails are all torn out
As the taste of my dying pleasure drips from your mouth

So rip my heart out through my spine
I'm sure it won't hurt as bad this time
You see Im not made from paper mache
I will not easily tear and just blow away
So you won't crumble me up again
And throw me away with the wind
My bitterness has cut a frown into your smile
The beautiful death of my vampire

About this poem:
Somewhat a big fan of the horror flicks, especially the old black and whites to the late 60's and 70's. There is certain element of creepy in a classic films that most of the new ones today lack and fail to capture---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----

This is a superb poem, I too think the black and whites can't be beatenapplause

No they cant be beaten, even the 80's had its perks for the horror genre but nothing like a incent Price or Nosferatu. I am glad you enjoyed I am humbly honored
