Goddess Of Night

In my sleep I hear a sound
I open my eyes to find the cause
I search but nothing’s around
I didn’t take a long enough pause
I missed what was there
Looked through it like a ghost
Barely caught the scent in the air
But I could not find its host

Resting back down
I set my mind at ease
I didn’t even notice when I drown
Nor when I started to wheeze
I could have saved my life
But I was so blind that night
I didn’t even feel the knife
The one that took the light

As soon as my eyes closed
Another pair went to ignite
Their glowing was exposed
Those eyes of the goddess of night
Accompanied by her paper white skin
Her lips a crimson red
The sharp canines showing in a grin
All the beauty of the undead

Appearing at the bedside
With not a single sound
She would soon be my guide
Into the underground
She outstretched her fair hand
With nails sharpened to a point
You could tell just what she planned
With the creaks in her finger’s joint

Ever so gently she moved the hair from my neck
She was as delicate as a butterfly
She didn’t want my life to be a wreck
And if only she could cry
She would show how sorry she was
She didn’t want to scar my throat
She knew what the bite would cause
But she needed to just to float

I felt nothing at all
And I haven’t ever since
I don’t remember what it’s like to fall
And now I live with the dark prince
I know what it’s like to take a life
And to give a different one back
The mortals cause me endless strife
They think that my heart is black

Now I’m a goddess of the night
I can’t live unless I kill
And never again will I see light
Forever is my heart still
But somehow I still go on
And I will for all of time
Unless one day I see the dawn
Then death will come, ever so sublime
