Out somewhere on a side street shadowed by the dark,
Walks a lady, doesn't know soon will end her spark.
She walks quietly a concerned look on her face.
She doesn't trust New York, afraid of her own race.
But in the distance the creature stands.
He watches her in enjoyment, laughing at her shaking hands.
He follows silently, in the shadows, oh so bold.
He already knows how this will unfold.
The wind blows softly and the bottom of his trench coat begins to sway.
But all so gently, he continued to watch his prey.
The girl wanders for several blocks, so does he.
In the shadows, out of the shadows, he won't let her be.
He could taste the damp moist air on the tip of his fangs.
And the wind continued clearing the girl's eyes from her bangs.
She looked back twice but didn't see him.
For he had stayed in the dark, silent in the dim.
And slowly he came upon her just wanting to quench his thirst.
But he had to stay quiet, so when it happned it wouldn't be the worst.
His job was to keep her quiet and to not be seen.
It was his life, more than just being mean.
Licking his fangs he could taste it soon enough.
She looked so weak, and he was just so damn tough.
And when it happend he caught her from behind.
A hand around her mouth, her neck he began to find.
Barring his fangs he sunk in his teeth.
He could feel the soft scream muffled from his hand underneath.
The blood flowed faster than he could drink.
It was soothing his hunger, faster then he could think.
The rest of the blood he couldn't keep up was there.
It flowed down her skin, it touching the air.
Weaving through the crevices, of her trembling skin.
But it is only a matter of time before the darkness starts to sink in.
He could feel the pulse of the victim, could fee it slow down.
Until finally it stopped, she was no longer around.
She falls to the ground her body making a soft thud.
The predator lets her drop, from his mouth dripping blood.
He gazes at her eyes, cold, motionless, dead.
Then a small smirk, he was fed.
Wiping his mouth he uses his sleeve.
Killed by a creature of the night. Who would believe?

That's awesome. At first I thought it was going to be about a stalker or a rapist, but it's not. I love the rhyming, and the detail taken into the poem. I could vividly imagine this in my head. Great job!

Welcome to the AP site
WOW this was a long write that you have done!!
This reads well as a story rather then as a poem. Very dark and kinda creepy! I love the idea behind it and the way that it reads you have spent quite a while writting it. Well done and keep up the good work
