I died once
and your reaction appalled me
As you sat back and rejoiced
I underwent a transformation
My face deformed
and hands scored
- Shrieking in the dense air of the hills -
The inn seemed inviting
The innkeeper sat silently
as his happiness faded into pale blackness
- And your laughter filled the hall -
We fed a great feast
Not a drop unshed
[Then daylight]
I slept once
and you tried to kill me
Your canines just out of reach
You underwent a transformation
Your face mangled
and hands lacerated
- Shrieking in the dense air of the hills -
I let the air out of your heart
and purity bled in
