The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

skies explode over

tumid landscape



battering sounds coil

in clusters



burst and sheen of crows

home to deep



something raw of this

intangible as corners

gone awry

and a thinning

of the liquid dark



I drive past the edges

hoping outward still exists



and what dwindled

still breathes

She spiraled downward

like a Butterfly without wings



cast from the covenant of old

broken upon the Rainbow



plummeting



this screaming Angel rent

torn from the bosom

of immortality



never to look upon Gods

both old and new



naked and beguiled

now numbered with the tares



no longer a golden grain of wheat



heavens on fire

the igniter cast out



swirling



screaming torments

beauty begat

careening into thorns



blood spews from the shredded wings

each drop forming



a black Rose



adorned with jagged

thorns of betrayal

and deceit

My mirror doesn't smile back

every morning.

It doesn't lie.

The honest piece of glass shows it all.

Bags under eyes swollen with tears.

Cheeks red, stained.

Hands balled into fists,

white knuckles showing through bruised skin.

Why?

Endless nights of torture that seem

to last forever...

and ever.

They grow restless.

He, She, They,

Faceless names pass by in the dark.

Remnants of the painful days,

that have dragged by.

They never end.

The days.

The mirror never lies.

There's a beast stalking me,

Its eyes follow me.

Its fangs gnash at the very air around my head,

Its claws ripping away at my surroundings,

Causing me to bleed in ways I never have before.

I whisper to myself,

"The darkness is coming"

And it engulfs me.

I close my eyes and scream in terror.

Upon reopening them,

I see the sun.

I smile to myself and say,

"What a wonderful dream"...

I'm breathing fine,

I'm not sad,

I'm not bleeding,

Everything's peaceful.

Bright,

White,

As if the early morning sun,

Beams directly down on me.

-

But I open my eyes,

The breath catches in my throat,

Darkness surrounds me,

I'm covered in red,

Nothing is okay.

Pain,

Sorrow,

Wishing for the day,

There is no tomorrow.

Covered in black,

We scream in pain.



The sun is back,

To call our names.



To take us back,

From whence we came.



Covered in black,

We scream in pain.



It takes us back,

To burn in flame.



It takes us back,

To where we came.



We'll be back,

To do it again.

She stood on the bridge

In silence and fear

For the demons of darkness

Had driven her here



They cut her heart

Right out of her chest

Making her believe

That the demons knew best



They were always there

Sometimes just out of sight

Waiting in the background

Till the time was right



These demons were destructive

Knocking down the life she knew

Hating everything about her

She hated herself too



These demons can't be seen

But they're far from fairy tales

They live inside your mind

Their evilness prevails



So on the bridge she stood

About to end the fight

Then she stopped and thought

I'll fight them one more night
