Your wings swoop and sway as you delicately join me on the ground. <br />Your skin is the shade of night at it’s darkest, <br />Your eyes the colour of the blood you crave. <br />You float through the sky with the grace of a bird, <br />But you bite to kill, as deadly as a shark. <br />I understand that you need to feed, <br />To drink the life of others. <br />But what I don’t understand is why me? <br />Why did you choose me to keep you alive when I am sure there are many others far more delicious? <br />So you land by my side and your wings relax, <br />As this next part is still so strange to me. <br />You transform into your human face, your body twisting round and round. <br />Your bones making an awful clicking sound. <br />The pain you go through every time must be unbearable. <br />I can only imagine. <br />And now you stand in front of me, so tall and overwhelming. <br />Ready to bite and take my life, <br />If only to keep your own. <br />I know that it is pointless to resist. <br />That you would easily win in a fight. <br />All I can do is lower my collar, <br />So go ahead, and bite.<br /><br />Rachel Brewer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bite-4/
