Silver Kiss

Silver Kiss

He draws me in,
smoldering coal black gaze
suffocating my breath,
I feel I’m drowning.
Lips on my neck,
I feel the promise of his silver kiss
he’s offering me immortality,
a life beside him for eternity.
I am drawn,
he is too strong.
Hypnotized,
I cannot move.
I heave a sigh
but his pale hands hold me fast,
I am falling into the darkness.
I am nothing but his next victim,
a flower withering on the stem.
He has captured me,
I am blessed with pallid face,
my reflection fades
as he pierces my veins.
I feel it flowing through me
as joyful as a curse,
as sweet as honey.
