Poem Written by Beth Hatch (formerly Zwaduk) for her 8th grade crush
A Stranger
A stranger walks from the dark
From where the light has died
His eyes burn the singing lark
And see my soul inside
His hair is dark, oh so black
His curls are deep and fine
They lie along his slender back
And cover his lips of wine
Is his heart as dark as shade
Or is it pure as white?
Does evil come from the eyes of jade
Or do they purify in light?
No, it is the heart of a beast
That my affection is seeking
Hoping my desires will fade
When he kills me while I'm sleeping
Wait! I hear the creaking of the floor
My heart is beating fast
He is opening my door
One more breath might be my last
His face is pale, ghostly white
His eyes are flowers cut fresh
He leans over me in the night
And sinks his teeth into my flesh
Sorrow, sweet sweet sorrow
Death's doors are open wide
I will wake again tomorrow
As the stranger's vampire bride
