A Vampire's World is Black and White

By Ted Axe (c.)

I live in a world

Of black and white

Like an old photograph

I'm both day and night

Black nail polish

Black around my eyes

Face made lighter

By my complexion

Ivory white

Long black trench coat

Black top hat

Black tight jeans

And Beatle boots

Black

My eyes are witch hazel

Lipstick's blood red

People stare at my clothes

And long black hair

Some think it's strange

But it's normal to me

Some are scared

But I don't scare easy

For in this world

Of black and white

I find color

In the dark and light

When dawn comes

I'm back in my lair

If you didn't know better

You'd think

I was a Vampire.
