I am the Vampire
Your blood is a river of sunlight
I feed off your warmth and joy
You don’t even notice

I am the Vampire
You are drawn into my ruth
I adore your merriment
You find me so elegant

I am the Vampire
You and I embrace
I’ll **** to return to your arms
You fall in love with me

I am the Vampire
You believe me to be a comely maiden
I am a young lad
You ignore the signs, my warnings

I am the Vampire
You and your love will die
I am ****** with immortality
You say otherwise

I am the Vampire
You are horrified by my truth
I did not choose to be cursed
You do not believe me

I am the Vampire
You come in of your own free will
I do what I must
You make it out alive, but heartbroken

I am the Vampire
You bathe me in holy water
I choke myself on garlic flowers
You drive a stake through my heart, but forget to cut off my head

I am alone
I am the Vampire
You can interpret this poem however you want. Perhaps it means something different for you than me. The original idea was using vampirism as a metaphor for gender dysphoria and the transgender experience.
