A blood red stone
Hangs around the ivory column of your throat
A gift from me
A gem from the past
Your eyes are warm and trusting
A glint of knife blades in my mind
I realize now that I am dreaming
Or imagining
For how can I dream without sleeping?
But I cannot stop the movie in my mind
The scene playing out behind my closed eyes
I lie to you
Offer you your heart's desire
Immortality
But I am lying
You will be my prey
Sacrifice
To my base desires
Blood on the floor
Dripping from your hands
It is sweet upon my lips
Bite marks
No fear is in your eyes
Only love
And trust
A crystal
A jewel
In return for blood
Life
Power
A blood red stone
Hanging around your throat
An amulet
A marker
I kiss you gently
Gently touching my lips against your shoulder
You stiffen
You could feel my smirk against your skin
Betrayal
A swell of music
As my teeth
My teeth
My teeth
Sink into your tender flesh
And I stop this nightmare
At last
