Immortal Love

Pale skin So delicate 

One touch can bruise it

Full lips cherry red 

One kiss can make them swell 

Big eyes baby blue 

One move can make them tear 

Precious life so fragile 

In a blink of an eye it vanishes 

My love so beautiful 

Lush black hair Smooth as silk 

Gentle voice and big heart 

Her heart, 

Counting out the beats of her life

Her mortal soul and numbered days 

Where as I 

Immortal creature of the dark 

Forever laid out before me 

Why is it my fate 

To fall for someone 

Whom I can never have 

All I have ever longed for 

Placed in this mortal women 

Love, comfort, trust, safety 

Harbored in her heart

Reach out to me without fear

But it is I who is afraid

Afraid to love her

Afraid to lose her

Her life is a fracture

A blink of an eye

Compared to my damnation

Curse this immortality

That has been spelled upon me

Author's Note

Inspired from a prompt by the poetry club im in on a different site

The prompt is... Imagine the life of an immortal... the inner struggle if they should fall in love or not (maybe with someone they are currently falling in love with)

nice flow, i'm beginning to wonder how immortals feel too. imagine all her beauty and grace fading away with each passing year and all he can do is love her still, just for a moment until she's no more and all he's left with is memories haunting him....
