Vampire lies dying where shadows play
Stricken with grief by his side I stay
Starvation played vital part
Now I too die with broken heart.

Promise profound, he would not break
His thirst on me he did not slake
Begged, pleaded would willing give
Anything, everything so he could live.

Now falling tears freely mingle
My body alive with lethal tingle
He slowly dies holding my hand
Soon will depart to deathly land.

Memories invade permanently haunt
love that happened that came to naught
When shadows play over my life
With love remember was vampire wife.
