Vampire
A living oxymoron
An immortal
Or a corpse?
A bringer of death
Or a savior of life?
A curse
Or a blessing?
On the brink of death
And saved by a vampire’s bite
Becoming free of disease and natural death
At the prime of your life
And having it taken by a vampire
Dropped into the abnormal darkness
To be a living human
Blind to the beauty of the world
And ignorant to the problems
Or a vampire
Able to see our faults
Able to understand the true meaning of things
So which is it better to be?
Human or vampire
Always aging to a final death
Or living forever without worry
Surviving in ignorance
Or existing in understanding
A heavy price
But the rewards great
You have to ask
Is the cost of life worth it?
Most people say
That vampires don’t exist
But if you look closely around
You see them
Maybe not devilish creatures like you expect
Those hell-destined beings that find their pleasure from our veins
But dark souls, sad and desperate
Desperate for a feeling
These people you will see
And being someone like this means losing your life
Losing your soul
Losing the will to actually live
But gaining the ability to see
The ability to understand the darkness in this world
So what will it be?
Life…or death?

A darker, darker poem about the concept of a vampire, and maybe its true role in everyday life as more of a human characteristic now...depression if you will...than an actual creature of the night.
