Father please forgive me
For I know exactly what I've done
I hurt this person terribly
And now my soul is gone
I did not mean it
I didn't try
But I lost control
I couln't stop
I had to drink
And he is no longer whole
I am a monster
The outcast beast
The one who hunts for blood
For me to live
I need your life
Not your petty love
With each life I take
Each one I kill
Each person that much fall
I go deeper
I die more
I get much less strong
I do not know
How this happened
Or where the scars have gone
Or why this metamorphosis
That I have undergone
Was so absolutely
Necesary for my life
After all, before all this
I was just fucking fine!
And now I kill
And I can't stop
One solution presents itself
Segregate
Keep away
Or just kill myself
But I'm too scared
I want to live
Even though I know I'm dead
But becoming the beast
This monstrosity
Has made me lose my head
What to do
Where to go
Shall I accept the curse
Or live alone
Shall I live
Or shall I die
Or shall I just
Lay each night and cry?
I shall stand
And I shall fight
I haven't lost my soul
If I had I wouldn't feel this way
I'm still alive I know
Author notes
It's a vampyre poem. I understand its a tad bleak but that's to illustrate the complexity and mystery of him.

I picture a frustrated new immortal wandering around tormented... I used to wish Vampires (the Anne RIce style) were real when I was younger... (like 12-14 years ago O.o- damn do I feel old) sometimes still contemplate it. This just kind of took me back in time... not sure why. But I welcome reminders of simpler days... who would ever think that those would have been the simpler days!
