Mayhem

Kevin Yates

I have vampire blood in me
That gushes forth from silver skin
And doesn't matter who's my first
I've never been so close to dream.

I'm looking for my sufferer

Who's willing to sacrifice himself
For my salvation from routine.

How many years of gory nights
She saved with her innocent scream.
It was the price for great delights
Before the chaos reaches the King...
