((Option #2)
My love, your eyes shine bright,
but only for an hour longer.
For soon, the time will come
and I will force myself to forget.
I watch you, smiling gently, yet
saddened; you won't have a choice.
For only once, I beg time to stop
and give me another day with you.
Soon, soon the clock will strike
and I'll distract you with a trifle.
I'll hover by your shoulder, and
let the tears fall in silence.
"You see, my love, I do have regrets:
I am not always what I seem."
This I think, as my teeth sink so,
into the sweet flesh of your neck.
For the first and only time, I cry,
wishing that there were some other way.
For the first time and only time, I
ask if my life was worth taking another's.
Your blood drains from you quickly, and,
I let my arms lose their grip around you,
watching in my immortal pain and sorrow
as you fall so slowly to the ground.
My love, your eyes shone bright,
but now that hour has passed.
In the dawning days, only you
will I never forget.

You create a sad, quiet, and mysterious mood, so well in this write. Your words vividly express the emotion this person is going through, and I was really surprised at this:
"You see, my love, I do have regrets:
I am not always what I seem."
This I think, as my teeth sink so,
into the sweet flesh of your neck."
Good luck in the contest!
