In The Darkness
I wait here in the darkness
The cold night wind surrounds me
Concealed within the shadows
I observe your every move
As you prepare for sleep
Waiting for the opportune moment

I linger in the cold dark night
Beneath a clouded full moon
Seeking a needed release
Only your essence alone can fulfill
To satisfy my insatiable hunger
I step closer to that moment

I emerge from my hiding place
Raindrops falling from the charcoal sky
I stand outside your window
Your mortal beauty beckoning me
No longer can I deny that which I crave
The moment drawing so very near

I am a phantom in the darkness
Moving unseen, unheard
Into your abode of sweet repose
The scent of your existence intoxicating me
My immortal senses undone
The moment has arrived

My eternal kiss pervades your flesh
As I drink you into my emptiness
My decadence reaching into your soul
Extracting every remnant of your humanity
Drawing you into the darkest realm
From which you can never return
