Where I Lay

I have no right to love you-
I have no right to hold you in this bed next to me-
I know in my soul I should bid you good-bye,
For only then can we stop living this lie.
We come from two seperate lands so very far apart-
For you are a being of the day,
And I, a creature of the night,
We cross our paths only in the hours after twilight
I'm forbidden in your world-
Let go as only a myth.
You are hunted in my land,
And loving you is like the lion who loved the lamb.
My hunger grows deepand strong-
I cannot hold back, so I feast upon your neck,
From your eyes the tears flood,
I taste nothing now but your sweet blood.
Your dying heart speaks to me-
"Why must it be this way?"
"Why must we love then die?"
Into the night I bid your life one last good-bye.
I had no right to love you,
And loving me just cost you your life,
For you must remember I am a vampire- born to hunt
my prey,
And you-now you're just a bloodstain upon the sheets
where I lay.
