This is just a poem I wrote that was inspired by Stefan and how he struggles with his internal darkness. I feel for him and wanted to write something in his point of view.

Disclaimer: I don't own the show or any of it's characters... I just love writing about them! :)

Enjoy!

To Love A Vampire:

Through the eyes of S. Salvatore

I have fangs that can tear you apart,

and arms to crush anyone that tries.

I love till it breaks me

and hate till it burns.

I can take what I want then

make you forget you ever knew me

I'll end a life to sustain my own,

then loath myself eternally for doing so.

There's a darkness

I fight to keep buried deep inside,

and the light of each new day

is a constant reminder of

the shadows that consume me.

You think you truly know me,

but I'm too ashamed to show you

what I have to keep hidden away.

Would you still want me if I told you

that every time you offer

a taste of your blood;

a part of me hungers

to rip open your throat and take it all.

I'm death,

but your love some how

brought me back to life.

I should walk away,

but you're the only one that sees

the humanity within this monster.*
