The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

seven months

your silken nothings,

ladled lightly

into my ear, that once

slithered sweetly

through my veins then

pumped passionately

to produce that boiling blood,

have turned this body now

lukewarm

Good-bye,

Sole elixir of my heart

I built myself some new lungs

Because you took my breath away

I installed a better voice box

So I could find the words to say

I molded myself some new eyes

More confident than before

I shaped myself a nicer face

Much less easy to ignore

Removed my stomach’s butterflies

And made it so I won’t sweat

Just like every time I see you

Every time our eyes have met

Last of all, a brand-new heart

It’s a version 3.0

It’s so strong that it won’t break

Even after you say no

Blue drips through the darkness of my dreams,

And trails through every word that spills onto my paper.

It dances through me and escapes into my vision.

The world turns as blue as my mind.

Green grassy meadows fade into oceans of endlessness,

And every face blurs as it dims into vague shades of nothing.

Yellow feelings are quickly erased as blue bleeds from my soul,

Destroying everything it dyes.

All signs of clarity are lost in this deep pool of reality,

And everyone is left swimming and gasping for what is left of the crisp



purple air.

Bright rosy shades of red and magnificent rainbows return only in



dreams now,

Which rarely visit.

But in time, such vivid colors are erased from even our dreams,

And the blueness fills every crack in the wall,

and every deserted room,

and every wondering mind.

Death is nothing at all

I have only slipped away into the next room

I am I and you are you

Whatever we were to each other that we are still



Call me by my old familiar name

Speak to me in the easy way we used to

But no differences in your tone wear

No false air of solemnity or sorrow



Laugh as we always laughed play

Smile, think of me, and pray for me,

Let my name be ever spoken without effort without trace
