A Single, Red Rose

The night dripped off her fangs;
dousing her tongue,
as she inhaled the venom in the air,
of fresh blood and dry rum.

She had an unrelenting hunger
for bloated veins that pulsated with pure love.
That of which she'd always yearned for
now trickled down her chin in the form of pungent blood.

The body on the damp ground
stared at her with lifeless eyes and a maimed neck,
sending vibrations throughout her stone heart,
filling her red-ringed eyes with liquid regret.

Before she was nothing more than a shadow,
her fingertips pulled the lids over the lifeless eyes closed
and laid on the silent chest a single, red rose.
