Gasping, Crawling to just get away
Knowing the end is near, yet showing no fear
I do not balk nor laugh, the way they fall gives no humor
I know i must feed, they know they must live
Yet only one will get there primal desire
I’m ready, no hungry
Makes me so much more attuned
I can feel the cramps growing, the pain only reminding
I see him get up, i simply push
He fly’s, hits the wall
I take no enjoyment in this, never have
Only wish for the pain to stop
I see him rise once more, i feel..respect?
He is strong, tall and healthy, once i would have awed at him
Now i only glare, i glare because that means he’s fast
I’m right
He run’s, practically as fast as me
I have no amazing speed, nor amazing strength
Only heightened senses
The cramps do not help
But i must reach my target
Once i had people who gave so willingly
Now they are gone, gone to the sands of time
That is the only thing i have now, time
Time until the day i’m either dead or caught
Just time
I follow him, from roof to roof
Skills i have perfected over the years
I see him jump a fence, run 50 ft, then jump the hood of a car
I groan he actually might make it
But...then.. He falls
And i have him
Just another night, another chance, for what
Blood? No
life
Through the night
I hear thy call
Why must I suffer
Through it all
The scratching
And piercing
The dragging of nails
The sound of rain
Or hell
Immortality
That's what I'd asked
Now it's just
A pain in my ass
Can't die
Never shall
Unless you remove it?
Oh come on pal
Make it stop
This bleeding of time
Or at least Putt an end
To those church bell chimes
Let me take those final breaths
So that I might finally shake
The hands of death
I beg unto you
One final time
Let me rest
From this world
You call mine
Typed a poem
Took me a while
Thought it was cool
Oh wait that's denial
I put my emotions in it
Love, sadness and all
Honestly was quite a drag
That's why it was so Damn sad
I thought it'd be
A huge success
Crap, it's just
An emotional mess
No it's good
Fuck you it's fire
Nope again...denial
