A Vampire With a Soul

Trapped in darkness

Can't touch the light,

The irony is painful

The Story isn't bright.

The stinging in your chest

The things you dare not eat,

The life you go on living

But still your heart won't beat.

For one hundred years you wonder

This thing cursed inside of you,

The guilt you hold inside

Won't let you just be through.

You're not among the living

And so you cannot die,

But still you are not dead

You're just living a lie.

How sad that it turned out that way

The story of you life, like that,

Cursed to walk the earth alone

In constant fear of turning back.

A man who lived a miserable life

Would soon be better off dead,

But now he is and all he could want

Is for his heart to beat instead.

And so the story goes

A creature in the dark of night,

Supposed to scare and kill and feed

But can only wish to be in the light.
