The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I saw you pass me in the reflection
On the window, in the street
You never saw me, was that your intent?
In the hope we'd never meet.
We lived in sin, but where to begin?
I dream each time I sleep
It seems absurd you waiting there
When we had other schedules to keep.

I loved you then without reserve
These feelings once ran deep
I couldn't run I was transfixed
You nailed my bleeding feet
How could such a love like this exist
When the cost is so steep
I gave it all, there was nothing left
The pain was sharp and sweet.

We lay between those sweat-soaked sheets
Sated in ecstasy
We made our vows without thought
Pushing all the boundaries
And so we lost more than we gained
Trying to compete
We tossed aside the very thing
That could have made it so elite.

The dreams we had lay broken now
And strewn there at our feet
We had the means but still ignored
The lies and the deceit
We just ignored the reality
Mistaking pain for the bittersweet
For our part just chasing ghosts
Where once the living used to speak.

What's done is done; no turning back
Destroying what was unique
We played the game but lost the war
Along with all the mystique.

We stood so bold, against the cold
And tried not to appear so meek
So many times the hits we took
Drove us to our feet
Some days we had to bear it all
And take it ever so sweet
And steal ourselves against the storm
Appearing strong when we were weak.

The night is darkest before the dawn
If we dare to take a peek
We raise the stakes for what it's worth
And the mistakes we often repeat
The dealer fans, the cards are marked
The house cannot be beat
The life we had, in tatters now
Indescribable defeat.
