The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

On occasion

I stop and wonder

Where exactly you have gone

You had sparked a flame, but

The fire once inside of me

Has dwindled;

It's dark now, done

The glowing embers left of you

Remind me of our past

The freezing water below me

Will take the pain at last

I know you would not want this

Were you still flesh and blood

But all that remains of you, my love

Is a maggot's rotting bed

You left me here alone

Waiting in agony to die

You said you would forever be here for me

Yet now I know, you lied

I once could handle the dull ache

The void that was my heart

But now it overwhelms me

And it pulls me into death's embrace

With one step, I plunge down

Into the swirling darkness

My breath is running out

I have now hit rock bottom

Even if I tried

Kicked and screamed back to the top

There is no chance I could find the way

To avoid my watery grave

On this occasion

I stopped to wonder

Where exactly you have gone

And now my fire has rekindled

By the fires of hell

And the sight of your face

We were suicides, after all

A single swing

Creaks forth and back

A lonely woman

Sits astride the seat



The cold, clear night

Embraces her soul

The bright, pure moonlight

Caresses her pale skin



A lone figure approaches

Tall, a dark shadow

The woman does not flinch

The figure comes closer



Stepping out from the trees

Washed in moonlight

Her lover, her protector

Comes forth



Wiping away her tears

Mending her heart

Taking away her pain

And enveloping her,

In his dark embrace,

Forever

Her luck has flown

On the wings of doves

Her lover is no more

Her sighs and tears have passed

And she is lonesome once more



Though the world is cruel

Love helped her to endure it

And now her coccoon is shattered

Leaving her forlorn, exposed



A lovely crystal goblet

Full of the finest whiskey

A single medicine bottle

Simply brimming with release



Together, they fell this angel

And send her into darkness

Yet in this sweet release

Angel and lover reunite forever
