Description
A Dream?...or A Nightmare?

Out of the shadows in the night, you came to me.
You flew into my bedroom and sat by my side.
Half-awake,
I peered into your moon-like eyes.
In that instant I saw the fate that awaited me.
Sleeping through the day and patrolling the nights,
Feeding on those who wandered far from their bed,
Blood dripping off my fangs and down my neck.
Atop the water tower,
I stare blankly at the sleeping town below.
With you by my side, I am truly happy.
But when the sun comes up
The horror begins.
As I drift into slumber,
My dreams are haunted by a life left behind.
Memories of past loves and the warmth of sunlight.
I look away from your blank stare.
As I turn my neck, you lean in,
I feel not warmth but a cool breath.
Do I want to live forever in sorrow?
Should I stay by his side, as his weapon?
His love?
You lean in closer
I'm pulled in two,
Do I want to be reborn?
I turn to him,
Kiss his chilled lips,
Tears run down my face.
He knows my decision and takes a step back. Swarmed into a murder of blue
and purple ravens, glistening in the light of the full moon.
He flew out my bedroom window,
Into the black of the night.
I pass out as he faded away from my mind.
Awaken by the morning light.
I ask my self,
Was my night prince a dream?
Or a nightmare?
