Claudia

You, the muse of the ages
with your cupid bow lips
stained with the blood of those wikid wrecked ones
who've scared their names into the lining of your veins
You, the demons counterfit 
Lucifer's angel
what are you but the pale shadow of my own pain 
You, and this courtyard love affair with your childlike beauty
You haunt me endlessly, and in your eyes "vampire eyes" I am given to know what you feel when you forgive me for myself.
In the love and hate of it 
you feel almost nothing at all
