Dark Desire

The thirst is unreal 
I desire only its taste
I walk in and feel
I did it rather too haste
I stumbled upon this beauty
This beauty were his eyes
My thoughts possess too much cruelty
As I smile and he tries

I sit as if all alone
Not a care in the world as I gaze
His actions I cannot condone
All of a sudden he smiles a rage
I have felt this way before
I have seen the admiration
But am I ready to adore? 

I shouldn't do this to innocence
It will hurt his pride
It is the fault of my arrogance 
That led him on this ride
I wish he wasn't so pure
Because it's his blood that will cure
Lord give me stability now
If you do for I will bow

I forbear my thirst as I leave
Not wanting to see the confusion weave
I am different and something you don't need
Go on child I dare you to feed
