I watch her day by day.
I await in the darkness, I seek out her warmth from afar.
So much of what I hold inside I wish to say,
To her I wish to hold my cold, lifeless heart ajar.
Yet the days pass and I find her scent more to my liking.
It’s not a blood lust, no not at all, it’s more of an innocent desire…
Everything about that mere mortal I find to be nothing short of striking.
Although, her utmost understanding is something that I must require.
Would she turn to me for love and care?
This beast that I am - so horrid in sight,
How could a mortal so lovely as she ever – in her ways, so fair
Could she ever feel more for the monster I am than just fright?
I thought of approaching her the other day,
But when I got close, her eyes set on me, and I was lost in their blue pools.
I stared and I stared until a shiver – ha! A shiver! – sent me astray.
To think, a mortal, had turned me to be not above common fools.
That girl, my love, the one who knows me not
Has set my heart afire with emotion… feeling – alas I feel!
There is sadness in this… for she hasn’t even known me enough to have loved and forgot.
Oh, this longing, I wish so much for her and only her to heal.
I watch her… day by day.
My fear of a mortal keeps me at a distance,
But if the opportunity came a single day for me to say
“My sweet… be mine, I love you…” I’d take it up in a single instance.

Very good, Your worse use is excelent and the flow is good. The visualization is good as well. But this also hints of personal feelings. Reguardless it is a good poem.

Interesting write. I like how you can write from a vampires perspective, also being a guys perspective. It shows that you can adapt and that your writing skills are impressive. My kind of write, dark and lovely.
