This poem is one of my edgier pieces...
Walker of Darkness
<br><br>
Darkness is my only ally<br>
As I stroll these streets.<br>
Bitterness overcomes me<br>
Along with questions why.
<br><br>
Why am I cursed with this?<br>
When will it end?<br>
It will never because I am<br>
This city's immortal prince.
<br><br>
I'm a bloody nightwalker,<br>
Succumbing to my thirst.<br>
Gnashing my cursed attributes<br>
I turn into a stalker.
<br><br>
My thoughts are on<br>
The red life I need<br>
Before the moon disappears<br>
Behind the breaking dawn.
<br><br>
The streetlights are<br>
My only friends<br>
As I fight my<br>
Eternal war.
<br><br>
Am I forever bound<br>
To walk dark streets alone?<br>
Prey on people and never<br>
Give another look around?
<br><br>
Will light<br>
Forever be my foe,<br>
And will it always mean<br>
The end of my life?
<br><br>
I go home again<br>
Hungry as before<br>
Until night calls<br>
Again upon this man.
