The Curse Of Being A Vampire.

In honor of the

Halloween Season,

I would like to reprise a little poem I wrote.

It is called,

"The Curse Of Being A Vampire."

I can come out,

Only in the darkened night.

I am treated frighteningly,

In someone's surprised sight.

My anguish inside,

Torments me to the bone.

Did I ask for this?

No, but I bare it alone.

I was bitten from the bite,

as cold as Winter's frost.

The life I had before me,

Gone now, all lost.

Why, with no heartbeat,

Do my eyes still see?

Why, with my mind still thinking,

I know it is not me.

Now run away from me,

Do not play the hero fool.

The smell of life within you,

sets my fangs to drool.

To survive in this plight,

I am forced to drink your blood.

Afterwards, the guilt of murder,

Hits me like a flood.

Once, I was a good man,

never committing a mortal sin.

Then why was I burdened,

With all of Hell within?

I did not ask,

To roam the night undead.

Given eternal damnation,

For my soul, can never mend.

I thought of ending my life,

Going over to the Church.

Not until I have my revenge,

Upon the Beast that I still search.

He is a Beast whose victims,

Never fail to die.

Their life is cut, so very short,

But their souls, are always free to fly.

Then why did he decide,

That I should be the one?

To decay in darkness,

Never seeing the light of the Sun.

So I will follow the path of death,

I must eat along the way.

Until I meet up with that Beast,

Some future fateful day.

Then I will destroy him,

There will be no more of my kind.

Because the thought of your blood inside me,

Creeps through both of our cursed minds!

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
