I regret to inform those who expressed interest in my contest that it is now closed; apologies to those who spent time on entries, I appreciate your efforts. I would very much like to continue hosting this contest and see all the entries it would bring, but having returned to school funds are tighter than I anticipated due to a profound lack of work in my area. So, all apologies given sincerely, TARTS AND HEARTS will not be continuing.

Thanks,

Hailey.

"If I Was Your Vampire"

6 a.m. Christmas morning.
No shadows,
No reflections here.
Lying cheek to cheek
In your cold embrace.

So soft and so tragic
As a slaughterhouse.
You press the knife
Against your heart.
And say,
"I love you, so much you must kill me now."

I love you
So much
You must kill me now.

If I was your vampire,
Certain as the moon,
Instead of killing time,
We'll have each other
Until the sun.
If I was your vampire,
Death waits for no one.
Hold my hands
Across your face,
Because I think
Our time has come.

Digging your smile apart
With my spade-tounge.
The hole is where the heart is.
We built this tomb together,
And I won't fill it alone.
Beyond the pale
Everything is black,
No turning back.

If I was your vampire,
Certain as the moon,
Instead of killing time,
We'll have each other
Until the sun.

If I was your vampire,
Death waits for no one.
Hold my hands
Across your face,
Because I think
Our time has come
... You get the idea
