I Am Your Night

The moon is my sun,
the night is my day
blood is my life
and you are my prey

I long for what I've lost
For that which can never be
I cloak the horror of what I am
and pray you never see

I shadow my gaze in your presence
and pray you may never be part
of the hunger that claws at my vitals
of the evil that blackens my heart

I look into your eyes
and find forgiveness there
and for a moment,
one brief sweet shining moment
I see an end to my despair

Your touch has rendered me helpless
your trust weakens the chains of the past
dare I believe in the love you offer
Have I found an end to this darkness at last?
