The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

A drop-

here,

there,

and sparsely spread

down by the open door-

smeared, walked through-

down on the laminate floor.

A drop of blood

next to another drop

next to another drop

next to a larger drop

next to a puddle of blood

dragging its feet as it draws outward

from the centerpiece, a deposit of human hair.

The head, with eyes devoid of life,turned to the side.

The arms, bent backwards, cracked forward.

The hands, palm down, pushed up.

Blood, dripping down in drops,

Escaped every orifice,

as the deceased

now stood

before

me.

Now,

it tread towards me.

I run.

Pain,

I release you.

Now go away.

Stop being that persistent ache

That punished me long ago.

Stop prying tears from dry eyes.

I have cried them long ago.

Pain,

Stop hiding within objects.

Stop hiding within words.

Stop hiding within actions,

that remind me of the gone.

Pain,

I want to remember the sights

with joy.

I want to remember the smells,

with joy.

I want to remember the best

of everything

and do everything but cry.

Please pain,

I release you.

Now go away.
