Long kiss goodbye: A vampires lament

Across centuries I have searched
For a love so true and pure
Bound in blood and sacrifice
Yet my yearning must endure
War and strife have I seen
Men have come to blows
For lesser things than love and beauty
This madness I abhor
And I they call a vampire
A forager of blood
But it is beauty that I seek
Beauty that I long for since that long kiss goodye
