| With each sunset, darkness rises Becomes the shadows of the night Death is wearing human guises Stepping out to get a bite She walks alone through unknown streets Cautious of the passers-by Night mist swirls around her ankles She pulls her collar up and tight A friendly face stands at the crossing Watching her approach his side The predator has found the quarry The two lock eyes and smile wide The game begins so playfully The words are chosen with great care Ears are filled with sweet nothings They walk as though a coupled pair In his room the hunger rises Forms entwined face to face Teeth plunge in, the blood pours out Ecstacy in dark embrace A pale, cold, body with a smile Found by strangers in the park Nobody can identify Danger waiting in the dark She walks again through unknown streets Cautious of the passers-by Night mists swirl around her ankles She pulls her collar up and tight With each sunset, darkness rises Becomes the shadows of the night Death is wearing human guises She's stepping out to get a bite Copyrighted by Dale A.
