Cursed Loneliness

In the dark moments of morning, as the sun is yet to rise

A faceless form awakens, inspiring chilling cries

It lurks within the darkness, while unaware, we sleep

As many shall fall victim in the dormant hours they keep

~~~V~~~V~~~

The moonlight beckons wandering, as it hauntingly entreats

Selecting its new victims from the souls that dare to meet

With charm and a seduction, enticing all who are about

After a quick salutation, they then give in to shout

~~~V~~~V~~~

The faceless form reveals them, all it really needs

Taking from them blood of life, on which it only feeds

A curse bestowed in days of yore when another fed on it

Living on, in death’s cold grasp, because of once been bit

~~~V~~~V~~~

Alone it ever wanders, through the dark corridors of life

Invading all our nightmares, with stabs there like a knife

Sad though, all it really wants is to live and to be seen

For it must live its life alone, in the hours, in between
