The Endless Night

In an endless night

I’ll try to find comfort for the

Vampire who sits alone

In the dark wondering

Where the last two centuries went

And only leave the darkness of the house

For a quick supply of blood and maybe a word or two

In a dark alley

Then back home to a couple of old cats

And a bottle of gin

With a twist from a dried up old lime

And a grocery list that is faded

Like the one who wrote it.

In the dark never thinking of reaching out

But in hopes that someone

Anyone

Will reach in.

So feed the cats

And wait for the full moon

The endless night

With no sign of sunrise

Or life as it should have been.
