if not for the vampires or other creatures
if I didn’t know half of what I learned
if I was kept in the dark
and not drawn to it
Instead
I’ve walked the night knowing what waits
I’ve slept with dreams whispering truth and fear
I’ve seen the horror that exists within people’s
hearts
Would
that I had felt it in you: so cold, so empty,
so near
If I’d never known the allure of this darkness
I would have never thought to look unto the mirror
and see it grow inside of me
If I’d never let this blight progress
its nocturnal increase stifling the pulse of
life
the remnants withering in your gift of grief
and strife;
I would have never met you in the garden, weeping
~
An offer to share the same fate,
and attempt with fragile arms to console
It would’ve been the curse of this half-life
if
I
let
you
go
unto
the
Abyss
