The Darkness

At night the city comes alive
The darkness my ally
Surrounding me.

The thrill of stalking my prey
Ignites my lost soul.
I see her through the window

I hear her soft heart beating.
I smell her blood pulsing through her veins.

My eyes turn black.
Her blood sings for me.

I yearn for the lamb,
Just one bite of the forbidden fruit
Would be enough to sustain
My thirst.

No.
I step back and fall into
The darkness.

I am not a monster.
