Dangerous Love

Some say that the soul is life,
To others, it's one's blood.
But, what I think is mostly right
Is that life depends strongly upon love.

A soul is needed to be human,
And blood is necessary to live,
But the thing that keeps us going most
Is love - both to take and to give.

The devil searches for souls to take,
While the vampire sucks her blood.
And like these horrid monsters of fate,
I seek my victom's life...but through love.

To the vampire, the warm, red liquid is life.
As he sucks, she takes her last breath.
I need to give my love to others,
But to others, my kiss is seen as death.

I am careful at my craft, you see.
Many people are fooled everyday.
I gradually close in very secretively,
And then I am there to stay.

The devil uses the soul to control.
The vampire - the blood he licks from his lips,
But I simply use the most powerful tool,
The sound of a heart as it rips.

I begin by controling her mind.
I slowly move to her heart.
When I'm most powerful - in my prime,
Is the time we spend apart.

My love resembles poison.
At first, it doesnt' seem to affect her,
But after a while, she loses control,
And her mind and heart are never as they were.

This is a warning for those who cross my path.
Beware - for I am danger!
It doesn't take much to get my attention.
What's worse is that I'm never a stranger.
