Blood

Splattered on clothes
Dripping from mouth
Smearing across surfaces
Caking the blade

Monsters want it
Vampires crave it
Killers spread it
Cults offer it

Bleeding from a wound
Crimson red
Bleeding on the inside
Permanent scar

Blood is needed
Blood is necessary
Blood is life
Blood is everything
