Dark Shadows

Safe in the darkness where I live-
I prey upon those who live in the light,
I drink their blood and then return home,
To my sanctuary in the night.
No arms of love do I find here,
No kisses filled with sweet dreams,
I live in a lonely sanctuary of shadows,
For the life of a vampire isn't always as it seems.
There's so much that is lost to me,
I can't remember the colors of the sunrise,
Or the flowers in the park at noon,
For in the night is where your dream dies.
I can't recall the smile upon a mortal face-
The laughter of children playing in the ocean sand-
Of the cloudless sky of blue,
My sanctuary is a very dark and dreary land.
Under the moon I hunt and play-
Seeking to end the lives I find,
I feed upon hatred and fear-
Perhaps my true sanctuary lives in the dark shadows
of my victim's mind.
