❤️☠️Romance of the Night☠️❤️



Nightfall stretched out like a canvas,

Discordant screams rattled the night;

People hid within the darkness,

Endeavoring to survive until morning light.



A grotesque creature, long-decayed

Clawed at my arm as I cowered;

In a moment I would die and

Be entirely overpowered.



Gunshots lashed at the air,

And the monster's hands fell away from me.

I turned on my heel and ran,

Began to quickly flee.



I tripped on what felt like a corpse,

And cried as footsteps sounded behind me;

But it was a human hand that pulled this time,

And human voice that sounded, "Let me lead."



Guns blazing, the strange man led me,

Through the streets of the rising dead;

And we said not a single word,

Until later when it was time for bed.



We nestled together under the stars,

And he held my face in his hands:

"You are a very handsome,

And attractive man."



I would blush if I were not wholly content,

Staring into the blue of his eyes;

The next morning there would

Be even more undead to fight.



But this night we had each other,

Were completely safe and sound;

I was lucky that I had

Been saved and found.



"Thank you for saving me,"

I whispered to the man;

And he kissed me then, withdrew,

And said, "Love is my foremost plan."
