I thought i was strong 
but i fell into Darkness 
not wanting to feel the rain upon my warm skin
walking an empty road 
turning corners, running away from shadows in empty rooms
Memories 
ever lasting love over thrown with a love for another 
a game of two, you said you would be there 
now alone in the darkness 
not wanting to feel the touch of another soul,
keep me locked away 
where no harm can be done 
let my blood run cold 
frozen in time within the memory 
of when you touched me, you touched my soul 
you took it away, you exposed my longing 
a longing that needs feeding 
now whom do i feed upon 
whom do i sink my teeth into 
whom do i drink from 
as the claret that runs through me burns on into the moonlight sky 
and i lay here, no feelings.. not wanting to feed 
but the need is there 
to feel your cold lifeless skin upon mine 
is overpowering me 
to slice through my skin to feel the pain all over again 
over and over again 
to be at your mercy your hands upon my throat 
and your lips pushed against mine
your taste salty but ever so sweet 
lost forever more...

This has mood - 'not wanting to feel the touch of another soul'; 'a longing that needs feeding' etc. very powerful imagery. At least I think it is 'poetic' imagery.

There are many good ideas, but I did start to flounder through them a bit. I think this has the symbolism approach of Indian poetry, but I'm not sure. Maybe it is the 'gypsy' effect I see in the picture that influences me, recalling 'gypsy' origins.
