You snake your arms around my waist,
Constricting as you salivate,
You claim to only want a taste,
But your hunger I cannot satiate.
What do I gain from this embrace,
That prevents night turning into day,
Will you promise me eternal peace,
I’ve been finding it difficult to sleep,
I’m tired of feeling out of place,
Just need some time to recognize my face,
A destination I can rest,
Before I serve this pound of flesh.
Your fangs they penetrate my skin,
A bite of an apple that’s forbidden,
You claim that this will be the end,
But we both know we will dance again.
What do I gain from this embrace,
That prevents night turning into day,
Will you promise me eternal peace,
I’ve been finding it difficult to sleep,
I’m tired of feeling out of place,
Just need some time to recognize my face,
A destination I can rest,
Before I serve this pound of flesh.
