Promise To A Vampire Poem by Lauren Owens

I look stright ahead into his midnight eyes
Im not scared but he asks me why

i love you, i trust you, i would die for you

he looks through my eyes like open doors
and asks me what kind of monster is worth me dying for

i wouldnt die for a monster id die for you
id die for heaven, id die for an angel, id die for you

Years spent in hate of himself still binde him and he tells me id scream if there were things i only knew

'If' wouldnt sway me on what i already know and if you care about me youd let me through
he grips my neck and turns me round and i thank god if this is the way i have to die

he whispers, i love you and please make sure, you never die.
ive lived forever not knowing what im living for, here you are and i wont lie,
with your neck id love to kiss you violently i'll sacrifice that desire for your promise to always live, never die.

i promised, i wouldnt want to go to hell for making an angel cry
