Writing in Snow

A Vampire Dreams

I stood on a snow-capped mountain,
Watching dawn’s glorious splendor,
My tears could fill a stone fountain,
Because I miss morning’s grandeur.

I cannot live in broad daylight,
I must avoid dawn’s bright luster,
I dream by day and cry at night,
Because I miss morning’s grandeur.

Mourning fills my soul with sorrow,
As I dream about dawn’s splendor,
My tears are for my tomorrow,
Because I miss morning’s grandeur.

I stood on a snow-capped mountain,
Because I miss morning’s grandeur.
