Days Of Dark Shadows

 

These are the days of Dark Shadows

Scary dark days, days that I wish I'd fled so long ago!

But I didn't and now I regret it terribly.

Now I must travel where the Darkness calls

My soul was violently torn from me

My body was tortured and bled dry

I thought I’d reached the end of my mortality

But my life didn’t flash before my eyes

Monsters lurk in the Dark Shadows

Things too awful for anyone to see

They come at night or they come at day

From them you can only hope to flee

I fell victim to such a creature

He desired to steal my immortal soul

He attacked me, he drank my blood

Not caring if my life I’d no longer know

I woke changed into the Dark Shadows

So very icy cold all the way deep inside

My mind and my body filled with darkness

But somehow I knew I would survive

These are the days of Dark Shadows

I haunt the city’s many cemeteries

I kill strangers; I kill those I use to know

Their lives mean nothing to me now

I have become a monster, I am a vampire

Staying alive is all that I think or care about

Staying alive is my one and only goal

I could stand out in the sun, I could be staked

But death would not take me, I am truly immortal

My blood lust burns away constantly inside

These are the days of my Dark Shadows

I cannot escape, I cannot commit suicide

I can only drink blood and I can only kill

These once were scary days but not anymore

I have grown so very cold in body and soul

I am a predator, a vampire, I cannot feel horror

The coldness of the vampire risen from the grave. Nice pen on this.

[Black Cat Fever]

Rather on the sad side of what its like becoming a vampire yet the ending is so true, vampires are predators, they don't feel horror. Why should they? I like the cold strong vampires much better than the wimpy ones too afraid to prey on humans.

I like the darekness of this piece alot ... love the last line too .. awesome job on this ...

[Star Wolf]

This is rather surreal and eerie. Makes me think of the Dark Shadows TV series. I like the dark spooky desperate feel to this. Awesome!
