Heightened Senses

I open up my eyes
And see things that should not be
The night now comes alive
With all of its hidden mysteries
I hear the loud sound
Of someone's beating heart
Throbbing inside my ears
Although we are miles apart
I smell the scent of blood
Pumping through someone's veins
When I begin to convulse from thirst
I succumb to the hunger pangs
