As I walk down this
dark pathway,
seeking out my mortal
prey.
I think upon how things
have changed,
since my day turned into
forever night.
Forever am I haunted by
the silent screams,
I see in each humans
eyes.
As I suck the life giving blood from their veins,
I absorb within my mind,
Their life experiences, emotions, hopes & dreams,
the essence of who they are.
Each time I walk among
the humans,
I wander ever so close to
danger's face,
For there is one
who hunts me endlessly,
Forever trying to catch me
off guard and unaware.
He is forever mine
enemy throughout the centuries.
He carries a wooden stake
in hand to plunge within my heart.
A slayer who's sole
purpose in life is to kill those of my kind,
He is always seeking my
trail looking for my lair.
I long for that witch I
cannot have,
The sun upon my
face.
Forever it seeks my
death,
if I give into its
embrace.
I am an immortal being
for my time here on earth,
As wonderful as that may
be to some, For me it is
a curse,
for I cannot love nor
have it returned,
Alone I shall ever
be.
For what good is
immortality,
if there is not one to
share it with.
With all the centuries
I have seen,
not one loving touch has
caressed my face.
I walk alone down this
dark path staying in the shadows.
slaying humans just so I
can survive.
I continue on through
the centuries,
always alone and forever in the
darkness.
I have no friends to
share my life,
nor love to share my
burden.
No one sees me or
knows I am there,
to them I am just the
wind.
They see a candle
flame flicker,
or a curtain blowing in
the window.
Before they realize
what is happening,
their heart stops
beating forever.
Human blood is the only
thing that keeps me alive,
I do not take it with
pleasure, but only to survive.
I watch and wait in the shadows for a
chance to take my prey.
choosing my victim
carefully I walk towards him very softly.
I lure a man to his
death deceiving him with my mind,
I seize control over him
then take away his life.
Never did he know what
would befall him this night,
he came to me like in a
dream without knowing he would die.
I would trade this
immortality at once,
if only I could have
someone to love &
them love me in return.
I want to embrace and
love a man,
without the kiss of death
upon my lips.
The life of an immortal
being is nothing without love.
There can be no love
without death's kiss in this immortal life.
Do not wish for
an immortal life,
for with it comes a
curse.
