Vampires

The silence echoed through my ears,
they were moving closer.

I ran quickly,
they surrounded me.

I stopped to catch my breath,
they stood silently, unable to breathe.

I didn't ask for this,
they asked for my soul.

The air pressured my skin,
they pressed closer.

I fell to the ground,
they flew to the sky.

Like cold hail,
they hit me hard.

His sharp teeth pierced my skin,
my screams pierced their ears.

I swallowed my pride,
he swallowed my blood.

I surrendered,
I became one of them.
