The Hunger
Three Poems By Sunsetter

The Hunger

The insatiable hunger never seems to ever end.
Especially when I'm close to my dearest friend.
Whenever I look into her beautiful green eyes.
I begin to get that urge to begin to hypnotize.
Then I have to compose myself and look away.
She thinks that I don't care for her in that way.
If only she knew that this hunger yearns for her.
And not only her blood but my love that is pure.
But I know that my love will only cause her harm.
As my fangs into her neck will give her such alarm.
And make her think that I want her only in that way.
I have so many things in my heart that I want to say.
I'm afraid to tell her how I feel, the words won't flow.
My hunger for her runs deeper than she'll ever know.
And when we are so close to each other, I feel so bad.
That I must turn away, knowing that she feels so sad.
If only Julia knew that my hunger is so strong for her.
But even love for a vampire is nothing without a cure.
But even love for a vampire is nothing without a cure.


The Hunger Rages On

When did these feelings for Julia come about?
When did I realize I loved her without a doubt?
I think it all began to happen with Tom Jennings.
For in his arms she would spend all of her evenings.
I became so jealous, but I didn't want anyone to know.
But Willie saw right through me, and boldly told me so.
He made me admit that I had these deep feelings for her.
But it wasn't love that I felt, and to cease with his lecture.
I know that he knew my concerns for her better than I did.
But I was in denial, for my true feelings, as always, I hid.
My feelings for her, the love that I feel, deep in my heart.
Must be kept silent, as this relationship can never start.
For I am once again, this loathsome creature of the night.
And sinking my fangs in her neck, would give her a fright.
But when we are within kissing distance, I feel the need.
To kiss her sweet lips, then on to her soft neck to feed.


Only Hunger?

When he looks deep into my loving eyes.
I can almost see right through his disguise.
It happens when we're within kissing distance.
So intense at first, then I can feel his resistance.
This is the moment, that he quickly looks away.
Then comes back, with something cold to say.
Then I will come back, with a sarcastic remark.
Knowing this special moment has lost it's spark.
Is it because I saw him glance down to my neck?
Or is it because feelings for me, he does lack?
I know that he feels the hunger, but not for me.
I am only his friend, is this all he will ever see?
Does he not realise, I would let him take me now.
If only I could confess my true feelings some how.
I even offered my neck to him when he became old.
But he declined, yet thanking me, for being bold.
Why can he not see, that I want to have him near?
And his fangs deep within me, I would never fear?
But when he looks deep into my eyes, it's the same.
He turns his back to me again, as if he's in shame.
