the vampire

I am quiet.

My steps are so soft no one can even tell I'm there.

My sharp fangs glisten in the moonlight as I sneak up behind the next man who did a woman wrong.

Blood is caked on my features but he doesn't see 

He doesn't let out any sound as I grab his neck, drinking his life source

His body is dropped in a coffin as I peer out for my next victim

No one fears me

I don't even fear myself

Always living on my primal extinct to kill the men that hurt the women

Their blood is weak

But I don't care

They're terrible creatures who don't care about anything but propping themselves up

Tearing others down

The city will thank me

Mothers will thank me that their terrible sons are gone

Wives and babies will thank me

Maybe even the men.

My skin doesn't sparkle in the sun

It burns like ash

Fluttering away in the sunlight

Night is my time

Moonlight guiding my path

Telling me where my prey is

Teeth snapping as I prepare to fight if I have to

But there's never screams

No, it's always silence
