Vampire
The darkness comes
again to
clarify the unseen, all the
while I crawl
out
of the prison I cradled into so to
shy
away from the
light and its
stupid
pretense to simplify the inexplicable
In me duality
rules, blood
and smoke
swirl no longer
apart draining
my soul anew
I spend endless
hours obsessing
over the thought of you, cursing
your name, rabidly
foaming over what
you
are doing to
me: I was
dead
and now I live!
From the abysses
of my days and the heights
of my nights I
yearn
to bite and
poison your happy
flesh of delight with my
same
illness so that
we can be
forever one
among the damned
But then it is
indeed your smile to
rip
through my powerless
guts and weaken my
resolve
For you
I live, for
you I would
gladly
die.
