Pain . . .
Darkness . . .
Emptiness is what she feels
A hunger
For the forbidden


A lust she denies herself
She is determined not to be like the others
She has values . . .
Morals . . .
A sense of right and wrong!


She is only as strong
As her weaknesses allow
And her flaws are many
She is not mindless
But she is close to giving in


“Why me?”
Is her question
She often wonders
What stood out strong
What trait brought her this


“Mind against matter”
Isn’t that how it goes
Then why can’t she control
This so called “gift”
It is her curse


So many possibilities
If only she could let herself give in
But she won’t
She will walk the Earth, forever tormented
By something she cannot change


She was a good person
What did she do to deserve this
She was kind . . .
Caring . . .
She was a model citizen


Every curse has its gift
And every gift its curse
Why can’t she find the gift
In this on going torment
This eternal Hell


She was damned long ago
And has since tormented herself
Longing to be relieved of this curse
Longing to feel
Longing for mortality


Once life seemed so short
How it went by so fast
Now after hundreds of years
She longs for death
Longs for peace


Humans . . .
So fragile
So weak
So easily preyed upon
They have a chance for death


Maybe this is
Why she wants them
Because she sees in them
What she so desperately longs for
Because, to her, they are perfect


Why can’t she leave
This vampire life behind
Why can’t she be mortal again
She longs for its weaknesses
And longs for the peaceful rest at the end
