Children Of The Night Poem by Poison 9901

Now I lay me down to sleep echoes thru my head
Waiting for the nightfall to walk with the dead
In my box of two by six I lay
Never again to walk the light of day

Dampness and darkness are my new best friends
When one phase of life ends a new must begin
Thoughts of the person I use to be now gone
To this place I will return before the coming dawn

I hear them calling, sweet cries from the night
Come join us, come spread your wings and take flight
As the lid from my coffin slowly opens with a rusty groans
I rise up from my satin lined bed deep in the catacombs

I look at my hands and wonder what have I become
What once was warm to the touch now colorless and numb
As I walk to the pool of water collecting on the floor
I look for my reflection only to see it never more

Shocked at what I have become my urges growing stronger
The feelings I had for you once could never be any longer
Never again to hold you or feel your warm embrace
For I must now walk this earth in darkness a child fallen from grace

Staring up at the moonlight thru eyes of a pale dead hue
The last tear of humanity I shed I shed it for you
This burning in the pit of my stomach now drives my soul
Taking over my mind as I quickly lose all control

Driven by this evil thing I had become and uncontrollable powers
Thru the shadows of the darkness I wandered for what seemed like hours
Suddenly I found you alone in the dark walking without a care
I watched as you came closer our eyes locked in a deadly stare


I could hear your warm blood coursing thru your veins
Powerful and pure with every beat your heart still contained
Slowly I took your body in my arms and held you tight
Soon you to would be a cold hearted killer like me a child of the night

Slowly you moved your hair and tilted you head to one side
It was my will you were not strong enough and I would not be denied
As your warm blood began to flow I felt more powerful than ever
From this night on you would join us in a nightly endeavor

Satisfied for now my burning desire quenched and fulfilled
There would be no reason for anymore blood to be spilled
Like a thief in the night I slip away into the damp night air
Leaving you cold and lifeless body as I must return to my lair

For it is their that we’ll meet once again by the dark of the moon
Deep in the damp catacombs as they will lay your body to rest soon
Darkness fades giving way to the on coming light
As I lay in waiting once again for the Children of the Night
