It was beauty. <br />It was all of nature’s glory in one form. <br />But then suddenly, I realized it was all wrong. <br /> <br />This was darkness not light. <br />This thing murdered innocents, <br />this thing meddled with the night. <br />Towards death the hint forms… <br />A Vampire. <br /> <br />Could I trust something so wrong? <br />I tried to do my best. <br />I had not loved for so long. <br /> <br />This form is not as they say. <br />It is vulnerable and weak. <br />For it’s underneath it will always pay. <br />For redemption it’s cursed to seek… <br />A vampire. <br /> <br />That’s why it protects me. <br />That’s why it cares for me. <br />It took so long for me to see past the cloak he always wears. <br />But the passion I found there. <br />It is something you would not believe. <br /> <br />To see itself is rare <br />Because to humans it will always be… <br />A Vampire.<br /><br />Alice Autumns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-vampire/
