I can see through this veil of tears,
This pain rolling from my eyes,
A heart wrenching tour of myriad years,
Choking memories of human cries.
Perhaps my sanity has finally departed,
Stolen from my immortal soul,
Centuries of agony and the broken hearted,
Of which much has been my role.
Families I have ruined in my need to feed,
No thought of the suffering I dealt,
Slaying innocents in my vampiric greed,
And now, now I feel what they felt.
A once calloused soul immune to their pleas,
Has been snapped into grace,
For my atonement can never appease,
Haunted am I by each mortal face.
Their cries for mercy are now painful shouts,
And my heart now cries for them,
I am doomed if I cannot shut them out,
For my suffering has no end.
Would that I could take it all back,
And never have fed from the young and defenseless,
Sadly I must cope with the hopeless fact,
That my time, and my pain, is endless
Somewhere beyond waking,
Just out of touch,
I see you smiling,
Just as always.
You always reminded me,
Of warm summer nights,
Standing on the shore,
Waiting for the stars to fall.
Silver moonlight in your hair,
Eyes that shimmer like jewels,
How often I've wondered,
How your blood might taste.
I will hold you now,
Even as I push you away,
For you are an angel,
And I have Fallen.
I cannot reveal my secrets,
Though you beg for explaination,
My Darling, you could not love me,
If you knew the dark curse I hide.
Daylight approuches and you cry,
For now it is that I take my leave,
Not before a kiss; sweet as crimson rain,
Heaven forbid it-- I have Fallen
