Death took me,
Blood saved me,
No longer can I see light,
No longer can I feel warmth,
But instead I feel cold,
And I only see darkness.
The day used to be my light,
My Life,
But now the night is my life,
Along with its hidden secrets,
Its hidden beauty,
That only I can see.
Some were forced to be who I am,
A Creature of the Night,
Known only to darkness,
But I chose it,
I chose who I am,
I wasn't forced,
Nor persuaded,
I chose new my life.
I chose it long before,
It was given to me,
For I had known it all my mortal life,
Of what I am,
What I'll always be,
Forever in Darkness,
In the night,
Cursed to kill to survive.
Some think I'm lying,
Others seem to think I'm ignorant,
Most think its my imagination,
That makes me believe something different,
But I know better then them,
I know the truth,
About who I am.
I am a marked person,
A being born to darkness,
Someone who only knows the night,
Who only knows the pain,
Anguish,
and a hell for an eternity.
The Darkness enthralls me,
And illudes me,
But the night controls,
And Binds me,
In life and death,
Forever in time,
As a Vampire.

Wow! This is truly amazing! I love it! You're really good at writing!
-
great work. very insightful. keep it up

Very truthful and sightful write.
"Chose" should be choose i think.. i think it's spelt with two OO's even in past tense...
and maybe "illudes" should be eludes.
Those were the only faults I could find with this poem.
Well done, keep writing. -
Good job with this! Now here is a poem that is very inspiring. It is good to meet another vampire, even though I am not one myself. I do know many of them. Your description is very accurate to what I have seen, felt ((empathy)), and heard of. The words were well chosen, and the form well done. Great job! Good luck and thanks for entering.
Best of wishes to you!

Thank you, truely. Your opinion means alot, mainly because well, you are a vampire, an immortal and creature of the night. As for me? I'm merely a teenager who is marked and made to be the experiement of many immortal blood and Slow blooding. I hold high regards and respect for anyone who is a vampire or anything to that sort. And I will be sure to please you in more of my writing.

As a vampire I applaud you dear. It's a life you have to choose or you won't have any fun.
You commented on my author page and so I felt the need to snoop around yours and read some of your writing. I'm pleasantly surprised by your talent for such a young age. You have control of the words you choose and bring a strength and power through. Excellent job.
Alexis
