I was naive, a shadowed spark,
Drawn to his darkness, the lure so stark.
On my 21st, he claimed the night,
A breathless feast in pale moonlight.Unfurling hunger, he bared my soul,
Sipped my warmth, made me whole.
With lips so cold, a thirst so deep,
He drank my secrets, stole my sleep.His fangs brushed close, a wicked creed,
An ancient hunger, a lover's need.
Each sigh he stole, each shiver fed,
Till shadows bound the words unsaid.And when he left, my pulse grew weak,
As love turned blood, so bitter-sweet.
A hollow ache, a haunted lore—
For in his arms, I was no more.
