Blood Runs Cold
The tender pulse of a beating heart
Is what begins to tear you apart
You are blind from the red haze
You are mad from a bloody craze
You succumb to an unquenchable thirst
In a body seen as cursed
Instincts become animalistic
And the vision seems non realistic
With the blood between your fingers
And the rusty scent that still lingers
The cold body of your prey
Is only part of the buffet
He continues to watch from afar
Not at your side, which may feel bizarre
While the others lie at your feet
The taste is only more sweet
A tangy flavor that intoxicates your soul
From the heart of a life you just stole
You wish you could leave the past behind
Because you admit you have lost your mind
Though the craving won't stop
And you go over the top
He'll accept you for what you are
Even if you gave him his scars
So take the hand of your knight
He will show you the light
It is only a matter of time
When you realize you've committed a crime
He'll be there to bail you out
That is without a doubt
Because without you there is no life
Even if it's lived in strife
Because he loves you
If you only knew
