never after

08/2011 (Blood type B: Installment Three)

Rain sweeps in from the east
crashing into the dry earth
watering the waste known
as this city

I've been cowering from the sun
that burns its ugliness into my skin
patiently awaiting blessed nightfall
so that I may feed without concern

I've shut myself away from the world
so that they can't see the horror in
my eyes or the contortion that racks
my body from the lack of fresh, warm blood

I remember waking up to this never after
this life without you, I remember embracing
the spirits of the dead, only to become one

How I wish someone would fasten a stake
and drive it through my beat-less heart
or cast a silver bullet and put it into my brain
please rid me of this torment that surrounds me
and is me

Immense resignation and immersion within this love! To feel so numb and recognise the darkness as the self is to be liberated in some ways...brilliant piece once more..because it can be internal or horror...works well for both..I love your style :) xx

a vampire with second thoughts..... gets right inside the mind, good twisting of angst. Smooth write.

I liked this and actually wished it was longer but you gave enough to have the reader wanting to know more. Also I like that it is written in a poetic from instead of the usual text paragraph.

Now the realization of what you have become and what you have lost is just beginning to haunt you. Okay so this could change my mind on the hole Vampire genre.

I have very little to say, simply because of the torment and numbing pain your persona displays.
You have created a whole new meaning of Vampiric Literature, for it is only now that I have found someone so briliant as you.
