Vampire's Sacrifice Poem by Wesley Mincin

Vampire’s Sacrifice

Here in the dark, do I wait for the sun to rise,
And yet, I am bound to the shadows of night.
Once upon a time I would bask in its rays of life.
Now, I am harmed from its glorious light.

When the sun rises, you’ll walk on without me,
And I’ll be left here to wait in the dark.
That night we had spent I had thought was a dream,
But now it must end by the cry of the lark.

Beloved, I’m shackled to the rise of the moon
I’m a child of night and a foe of the sun
I’ll be here waiting and we’ll meet again soon
Though I’m sired and cursed, you still are the one.

Sin runs in my veins and my eyes reflect pain,
But the fire of love I have for you burns
The monster inside me, and the thirst, I can’t tame
But its something this curse comes with. I have learned.

I shan’t condemn you to the life I have taken,
For the price was worth it so that you may not suffer.
To say that my loves dies would have you mistaken.
My beloved, my angel, my light nymph, my lover.
