Will You Be My Queen?©

by Felina Silver Robinson

I fear that I will not see tomorrow

I know they are coming for me and I’m powerless to stop them

My aging vessel is on the decline

I’m clearly running out of time

I’ve been told to stay out of the light

For my skin surely cannot bear it

But I yearn daily for the view of human life and activity

That has not been a part of my daily life for centuries

I may not breathe the air as you do

The land I live on is not that of the living

I stop here just to steal glances of what I’ve never been

And what I yearn to be

If you’ll share your blood with me I’ll gladly take it

It will buy me a little more time

But it won’t last for long

So if there is anything you have to say

Just say it

If you care to join me

Say the word and I’ll gladly make you my queen

And we can walk the land of the undead together

All it takes is a little nibble here and a little nibble there

Then I’ll forever adore you
