I am...

It's been a long time since I've seen the sun.
Always in the shadows... always hiding.
The sight of that hopeful sight burns my very skin.

My stomach growls with that tasteless hunger.
Juicy Steak... or fillet, it does nothing for me.
Divine Chocolate might make your mouth water
But for me it tastes only of paper.
For my hunger is empty, only ever needy.

I don't feel, for that part of me
withered away a long time ago.
Oh this endless and shallow hunger.
Will it ever go away?

It's okay, for I only kill the sad, lonely and isolated.
Does anyone really miss them anyway?
But I must... to live.
For I have never thought of death
Except when I died

Oh yes... there was a time when I was like you,
but that was a long time ago.

My life is endless, tiring,
but it goes on and on
for I am a child of the night
a ghost, a wraith, a vampire.
