Shadows

We walk amongst you,

Feasting on your blood.

Beware!

Shadows in the dark,

Whispers in the night.

Our lust for blood-

And the sun’s light

Our only weaknesses

We live amongst you

Along history;

But always in the shadows

Never truly a part of it all.

Our pale luminescent skin

A reminder of what we are

And can never have;

No longer human.

But monsters that haunt your dreams;

Pale ghostly figures

A step up from zombies.

We’re trapped in this world

Immortal beings

Splendid is our beauty

For angels we could pass.

Centuries old even,

Whispers in your ear,

A cool breeze that makes you shiver

Beware!

Your blood draws us near

Cover up thy neck

Fragile being.

For shadows we are

But of solid form.
