The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Humming carols to myself,

Tears collect behind my eyes

without warning.

Mistletoe and holly,

Twinkling lights.

A world snuggled in blankets of

peace and good cheer.

Yet familiar pain jolts sharply

from some secret abyss,

Malignant and malicious,

A silent mockery of remission.

My hardened heart,

Encrusted by salt of countless tears,

Succumbs--

To snowflakes and jinglebells,

Nordic sweaters and cedar boardwalks--

A jagged scar that never healed.

Tousled blonde hair,

Magical blue eyes,

Perfection reflected in a mischievous smile:

My once-in-a-lifetime Love,

Destined to cast eternal shadow

on my soul.
