A Girl is Without Her Familiar Today

A girl is without her familiar today
no feline antics to make her laugh
Grandmother's health is failing
no little friend to help east her pain
she fears an aunt and some of her uncles
will gladly offer "I told you so" in abundance
but she was like anything else
a rose in it's due season, now come and gone
the pain, in it's timing, is almost more than I can bear
both widowed grandmothers bearing ill health
dad has leukaemia, the kind you die with and not of (so he and his drs. say)
my migraines, with medication, has gone down to severe headaches
these "miraculous" pills also lowers my blood pressure, which was already on "the low side of normal" to start
who's gonna want to hire me, with the many severe headaches and frequent dizzy spells?
who's gonna want to be by my side?
those who do not know me may be ignorant enough to think I am being a "drama queen"
making up shit just to seek attention and sympathies from others
but how can I "make up" what is the truth; what is already happening in the here and now?
Oh how i loathe the ignorance of the "common man" making up anything so he can believe as he wishes as if he has no faults of his own.
I have known love, and I have been hated
as many hate what they do not know, and refuse to try to understand.
and so I must feign love in order to go out and vamp my next victim.
as surely as they all have differing pigmentations in their hair, eyes and skin
that colouring is much like Beauty
it runs only Skin Deep
but below that skin deep pigmentation
of skin and eyes and hair
runs musculature so sleek and fine
better than the latest fangled Maserati, Lamborghini or Lincoln...
and the Sacred Drink the same Blood Red
so Salty... so Sweet...
such a perfect treat...
who could possibly need more
this perfect wine
now come.... and I will make you...
MINE!!!
