My heart’s a candle you are the flame,
burning away desire truth bearing the pain.
In my wick is the oil that fuels your fire,
in your heat is the reason for my desire.
Lights come and go with the passing of time,
memories like images etched in my mind.
Feelings change in that they grow with love,
inadequate before becoming the meaning of enough.
Blood-soaked lips kissing passion’s fantasy,
finding a way to live in our death.
Lights fading away as shadows remain,
warmth our reason, blood our survival.
Looking past the eyes of what’s unbecoming,
tasting the hope beyond our lips.
Knowing only how to be lonely as one,
we share the path to the grave.
Looking into your eyes reminds me of lust,
when all else drifted away you stayed close.
In my vampire heart I do know your love,
all else means nothing when drinking from you.
Falling apart to be together in the night,
every reason becomes my dream.
Finding meaning in the blood,
to love new ways in our heart.
Look away from my eyes to find me,
in a dream I will be the way.
Poison fills my veins to adore you,
light burns my flesh so you know.
Breaking point behind what was nothing,
alive in your heart is my pain.
To have and to hold what is in us,
making this life more than death.
