what happens in these
dark nights
is known by none
but her & him.
the sun is setting.
she knows he’s coming to her.
he knows he’s going to her.
it’s nothing more than a necessity,
a means of survival.
he needs blood.
and hers is the sweetest one,
tasting of vanilla&magic&power.
her blood brings strength to his
as it rushes through his body.
what happens to her
is better left unsaid.
the sun is rising.
the screams are fading.
she aches,
but no longer has strength
to form words.
she bleeds,
and he is the cause.
time passes more quickly now,
and he rushes to
steal as much of that red liquid as possible.
feeling the light scorch of the sun,
he drains the very last bit of her and
vanishes.
in the coming hours she will regain her strength.
tonight they will meet once again.
