Her vampire lover kept the ritual sacred every moonless night she'd cast her clothes in all directions dance with lanterns, freeze with fright when his uncanny gaze would catch her through lacy curtains, locked outside
yet always she would raise the window always silent, in he'd fly and on those virgin sheets, she'd spread herself and call him to her with those pearly hands her vampire lover hovered sobbing but he never chose to land
and come the mourining she would wake untouched alone tucked deep inside her bed she'd see the window locked from inside see those virgin sheets were ruby ruby red
