Eternal Life

A Poem by S.G.P.

I live by night and sleep by day,
For that is my way.
The sun has lost its love for me.
For I am dead.
But who is to say the dead can not walk or talk amid the living.
Who said once you have lost your life’s blood you can not have another?
I feed on life that flows through you.
You are my prey and are there for my willing.
Do not think of me as a beast but as an animal that must live.
As we all want to live and succeed in life.
I just want to live and observe.
I am silent and alone to wander the earth for an eternity.
This is the damned life I have chosen.
Blood is my essence of life.
Blood is my mead.
I have no other way to live than this.
So do not judge me for I am like you.
I must live at any cost yours or mine.
