The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Stunned I look up from the floor

Blood runs from my bruised lip

Pain radiates across my face

Anger makes me shake

Bravery forces me to my feet

Fear makes my stomach churn

Shock makes me want to cry

Love makes me want to deny

Disgust makes me despise

You were one I looked up to

One of my blood and of my love

Now my trust is shattered

Gone forever, never to return

When you come close I fight myself

Because I want to cower away

You hurt me once but never again.

I won’t accept it next time, I swear.

The ones to be protected are long gone

And it’s down to you and I.

If you strike me again, I hit back this time

I’m just not sure if I want you to die

So don’t make me decide, I’m warning you

Take your violence somewhere else

It’s not welcome with me, it never was

But now there’s nothing to insulate you.

I scream into the darkness for blessed release

Not for pleasure and not for peace

I plead with the creator

For an end to this pain

I want to have light ended

Forever from this day.

Leave me in the dark

Where the light Never shines,

Where it’s quiet and lonely

Where I can safely hide.

I’ll cloak myself in shadows

Of the darkness, so dear

That you’ll never even notice

If I pass by you, quite near

Until like the shadows that cloak me,

A shadow, I become

To drift along in the darkness,

But never quite alone.
