The Silver Kiss
I met you in the park one night
Though you were a stranger I felt alright
We stared at each other for a moment
I began to weep, for my life was one big torment
My mother was dying
My father was lying
You fled
Thoughts filled my head
My heart ached to see you again
The night was over before I knew it had began
The next time I saw you it back at the park
You and I, alone in the dark
You got angry, you got mad
I stormed home to dad
We met yet again in an ally way
You comforted me from all that had scared me that day
You told me you was Simon
You asked if you came to my house if I would invite you in
"Yes, I think so." I said
Not knowing what was lying ahead
I caught you in the same ally another day
You had been hunting right in my way
A dead bird was in your hands, blood smeared your face
I ran away at a steady pace
You had frightened me
I was scared you see
You came to my house on Halloween
You were out of sight, not to been seen
You rang the door bell
When I saw it was you, I slammed it well
You knocked "Please. Please let me in." you begged
I had a feeling that there was nothing to dread
I opened the door soon enough
But to come in, you seemed to find that tough
You said you had to be asked in
I said "Come in, Simon"
You smiled shyly
I led you into the den and sat down lightly
You told me about your life
How it was balancing on the edge of a knife
About you brother
And how he killed your mother
How you became a vampire
At first I thought you were on big liar
But I believed you in the end
You gave me the Silver Kiss, then I believed you to no extend
You left, depressed, you heart heavy as lead
I was left thinking about what was said
You saw me and ran to me on the streets one day
You asked if you could join me on my way
We went to the hospital to see my mother
In the elevator you felt trapped; your un-beating heart began to flutter
My mother was sleeping when we reached her room
I started to think of her impending doom
My mind flickered back to Christopher, you brother
You wanted to kill him, to avenge your mother
We got talking about him, how he could die
I said I would help, you thought it was a lie
But I convinced you to let me help
We went back on the elevator, you went without a yelp
You came to my house again, the night we would kill your brother
Your hand was burned, not by fire, but by the sun, the later
We waited for a while, until it was time to go
If one of us got killed, the other would miss the dead one so
Your brother, trapped in a small boy's body, lurked in the park
I walked up to him, you followed in the dark
Christopher said he was lost and offered me his hand
I stole his teddy bear and ran, I jumped and touched down on land
I had jumped over the ditch filled with steaks that you dug
The boy saw you and avoided your trap looking smug
You and he fought
I was watching, lost in thought
Would you live, would you die
I looked to the pit where one of you would lay
At long last, you trough Christopher into the hole
You stared at his broken form, I moved to you, me the one whose heart you stole
You told me to leave, you needed to think
I did as you told, my heart started to sink
I didn't hear from you for a day
You finally left a note for me, where it would be on my way
I did as the note said and met you at the park at midnight
You asked if I would wait with you until the first light
You said that there was nothing left in your life to live for
I realized that you were going to end your life, you a creature from mythology and dragon lore
You kissed me, I kissed you
You told me you loved me, I told you "I love you to"
The sun came up, you started to fade
You, oh beautiful you in your jacket of jade
We sat in silence until you were only a whisper
I cried, sad to lose you, you my love and favorite kisser
"I love you, Zoë" was the last thing you said
You were gone, I began to sob and weep for the dead
