I stalk the night
Forever bound to the call of darkness
Not because I can control the darkness
But because I have forgotten the light
I will admit
Iwas human once before
A temporary traveler
But that was long ago
I am immortal now
And I guess you could say
Maybe it's difficult
To hate the light of day
To be frank
The night is liberating
You trade the sun for a moon and stars
You forever roam the dark
I will also admit
That to some extent
I retain a semblance
Of who I used to be
I have grown old
I think you'd be surprised
At whatever the world has shown to me
In my 3000 years
The only thing that is required
To feel to an extent
Some of your former humanity
Is to finally feel free
I have grown old
As I once said to you
I was Roman once, you know
I was a citizen too
But now I hope
You'll appreciate my poem
It is but my legacy
Which I now leave to you
