Vampires

Vampires

A Poem by Tim Lawless

Selfish, bloodthirsty, inhuman monster!

Who do you think you are?

This life is not yours to define!

 

You, with your empty eyes and your wicked smile.

The look in your face betrays the hate in your heart.

The closed mouth hides a dagger--your tongue.

You could rend flesh from bone with just

One. Single. Word.

 

And the blood would flow,

A feeding you would relish,

Bloodthirsty, vamphyric god of death!

The emptiness in your eyes will

(Always? Never?)

fool me.

 

The pallid, corpselike manner,

Hiding that which you feign.

Sincerity.

Honesty.

A heart.

 

Deceive your maker, you shall not!

The author of your madness

Is the author of your ruin!

 

Be gone!

Before I break the mirror.
