The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

As I was hiding in the shadows, nursing my own wounds

I heard a low voice penetrate the cold silence

"Please help me out of this darkness..."

And I felt a surge of emotion flow freely within me

As I began to head towards the direction of that mysterious lament

I came upon another soul, bleeding and broken

Almost reflecting that of my own image within

He looked at me with pleading eyes

And his voice cracked with such loneliness

Again, he softly uttered

"Please help me out of this darkness..."

I inched closer to him, cradling him in my arms

Trying to keep him still

For he was shaking so much from the bitter cold

And looking deep into his eyes, stealing a glance into his soul

I tenderly whispered...

"I cannot lead you out of the darkness...

For I am as lost as you are in this world of chaos

But, I can be here for you to offer my light

So you won't feel so alone anymore..."

And in his fragile smile,

I swear I saw a glimpse of how sweet heaven can be.

The echoes of songs once played on WinAmp

Suddenly just lulled into whispers of nothingness

As I felt each link.. each clasp coming undone

I began to weep at the memories of recent time

When all was filled with thoughts of you

But now as we closed our doors to one another

Each memory falls like autumn leaves...

And upon the tear soaked ground where they fall

Bitterness and heartache spring forth...

Soon, I know these chains will all be broken

And my heart will be free of these heavy emotions

I look forward to that day now since I've seen it in your words

Looking up at the midnight sky, I see only tears now

Even the moon no longer holds its magnificence

The night grows colder and longer now... sleepless again

But the twilight will hold me again in the shadows

Where I have grown ever so accustomed to

Until I find my bearings again...

Until I shake free of all these chains of yesterday...

Till I can say "I love you... goodbye."
