Urban Nightmare
Hear ye my tale, my beauty
Of fear and forgotten legend
Of the terrors of the night
That will get you in the end
Do not venture out, after dark
You never know what is waiting there
Hiding away from you in secluded shadow
Ready to pounce like your worst nightmare
The killer is loose, roaming the streets
Looking for victims with his knife
You never want to bump into him
Because then it will cost you your life
Then there is the eyes of the vampire
Hypnotise you like the night sky
They will seduce you with a kiss
Then it is too late, as they drain you dry
A million eyes are out there, watching you
You shiver with a strange sound you hear
Something in the dark is reaching out
Coming to get you through your fear
So you have to run now, find somewhere safe
Find somewhere they are not going to see
But maybe I am hiding there in secret
So now you must beware, and look out for me
Cool! At first I thought I was starting a story about Jack The Ripper! then it turned into a Vampire's tale. Ya had me lured from the git-go with the story worm of mystery and suspense. God bless us all-MJG.

Full Of Danger & Warning and that Last Line ... Again ... Is That A Threat? ... Is That A Threat?! ... Where You Live?! .... hahahahahah hehehe hey ... MoonBee
Ah - interesting, how you take us on a journey, fearing the vampire, and in the end, revealing that perhaps the foe is YOU (reminds me of my ex-husband)! I enjoyed this.
The night certainly can be scary when something jolts our imagination into action.
