you should have known better

11/2011 (Blood type B: Installment Eight)

I have stormed these halls more days

     than most have ever seen

Years have blended together into

     a long, blood soaked night

Keen to replace the soul of

     a beloved mortal that died before her time 

     I remember the day her hand 

slipped from mine and she rose above the sky

    Leaving me alone and forsaken on this doomed plane

Here I have lain in wait for someone

    Anyone that bears her similar presence

Many have came and fell into my treacherous traps

I would give anything to just be dead

    To awaken from this gray fog that hangs

overhead, however this is just a inanimate dream for me

    So I will drink what is left of your precious time

swallowing, greedily, all your sticky hopes for a brighter tomorrow

    I will take my vengefulness out on the pulsing vein

    that graces the lengths of your throat

Give to me your lifeline and partake in my immortality

    Find in me your deepest and darkest desires   

Don't be afraid of your destiny, embrace this chance

    This accident that is soon to befall you

Lay in my anesthetic hold, forever close your eyes

I love how this could be a destructive relationship of a human seducer/womanizer with a girl, enslaved to his own lust--not merely just vampire lust. It applies to real life as well as fiction. A lot of guys chase after affairs to fill up some void in their lives, as they walk around through empty, gray existences; that's why a true womanizer is, quite literally, a cold-hearted psychopathic "vampire," sucking the love out of others and never able to return it--they've lost the ability to truly love someone. The darkness of this piece isn't really vampiric--it mirrors a human heart. That's why it's so good

Very well said..

[To be scene To be heard..]

i absolutely love this. some people can never write about the supernatural but you nailed it

[Dark Poetry]

A very gentle dark poem.

I agree with EMF. I have had my personal fill of sweet, giggly, awkward Twilight romance. You have elevated the vampire back to the dark, slightly more twisted misery of the vampires we have first come to know. BRAVO!!

[Marissa]

this is very good

I was so caught up in the moment that I was startled when it ended.. well done..

[Angie Diane♥&hea..]

This was a more emotional one. It was really well written and it was beautiful. This was a twisted love story. I enjoy reading. Thank you for sharing.

[Victoria Elizabeth]

[Alex Vidmar]

I have to agree with EMF. You are a different kind of writer. Very unique and very good! Love it!

"So I will drink what is left of your precious time swallowing, greedily, all your sticky hopes for a brighter tomorrow"... FANTASTIC work!! Love the darker side of your writing!!
