In shadows deep where night conceals,
I tread the silence, breath like steel,
A vessel hollow, lost in time,
Each heartbeat fading like ancient rhyme.
Centuries slide on a tapestry frayed,
In crimson dreams, my sorrow played.
Yet, fate's cruel hand did weave anew,
An ember lit, my heart's debut.
Your laughter, like a silver breeze,
Dances through the murmur of ancient trees.
Awakening a thirst I'd long forgot,
A longing wild, a fervent thought.
Once, I slipped from soul to soul,
A fleeting specter with no true goal.
Each love a mask, a masquerade,
None of the warmth that my heart craved.
A glance, a brush—two worlds collide,
Your eyes, two suns where hope can bide.
I felt the dawn break cold and stark,
In an endless night, you lit the dark.
What could you see in my withered guise?
A heart held captive, a prisoner of lies?
Each kiss was venom, sweet poison spun,
Yet from your touch, I awakened—unraveling—undone.
Do you not fear the shadows that surround?
The truth of blood where night is profound?
Yet, here I stand, an oath to take,
To sever the chains, my heart awake.
Oh, transient love, in moon's soft glow,
You shatter the silence, you melt the snow.
For eons lost in my cursed fate,
I taste the nectar—ecstasy waits.
No longer just a phantom's sigh,
No longer just a whispering lie,
In your embrace, I find my place,
In this eternal waltz, we trace.
Should the darkness swallow, pull me away,
I'd fight the night, earn a sun-drenched day.
For in your kiss, I seek my release,
An everlasting bond, a taste of peace.
So take my hand, let shadows play,
I'll show you love in the twilight's sway.
A vampire's heart, reborn in light,
Forever yours, I'll stand and fight.
