The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

There was a time, when you would've held my head.
Wiped away the tears, and held me close.
A time long past. Where I could be vulnerable.
I have to be strong now. Strong on my own.
A feat that I'm not sure I am capable of.
Still you wander, in the darkness of my mind.
Whispering.
Every night I weep and howl.
The sound of a wounded animal.
I know what I said. Understand, that was pain.
Pain and fear.
I'm not sure how much longer I can go on like this.
Dreams turning to nightmares. Screams through the night.
Bathed in sweat I wake, to realize the nightmare continues in the waking world.
Even when dreaming, a small escape from reality.
When I see you. When you hold me, and I hold you.
An illusion created by my fractured mind.
I wake, to reality setting in. You are not here.
So I howl. Hoping that you will somehow hear me. Feel my pain.
Do you? Are you listening?
