They never dancedHe never once asked
And he wore a mask
Honesty became a task
She was trying to hang on
Couldn't stay there long
She wasn't that strong
She'd knew she'd be gone
He bled her white, didn't feel
Left her dying, only to bleed
He was resiliant like a weed
But vampires need to feed
He performed a masquerade
He did surgery without a blade
Trying to deceive, to persuade
It was over and too late
“Masks beneath masks until suddenly the bare bloodless skull.”
