I have a disease.
A sickness,
that spreads through my soul,
leaving me wanting
yearning for the sweet
potent taste of life,
that cherry red liquid
that everyone contains.
It's as easy as two puncture marks,
and my thirst is at rest,
at least for a while.
I'm not like other people,
I have a curse,
for I have been damned,
and destined to walk the night.
The warm kiss of sunlight,
will never graze my face ever again,
cause now instead of kisses
that fiery sphere above,
only ceases to remind me of what I've left behind,
and of the dark path,
that lies ahead,
for eternity.
How I long for,
the simple things I used to take for granted,
my reflection in the mirror,
as I got ready for an evening out.
Or something as simple as making a decision
between the steak or the shrimp at dinner.
But I have a disease
that leaves me hollow,
no longer human
and although I shall live forever,
I shall live forever as the damned,
damned by all mortal creatures.
Until my differences consume me at last,
as well as the one shred of humanity I carry with me.
For this disease I bare,
there is no cure.
