The Day of my Immortality

In a dismal age I was found,

in solitude, I lived my days asound.

Cursing at the world for all my woe,

The day came I spoke no more.

"Great Lilith," I cried, "be my eternal bride

Release me from the pain in which I hide.

Give me the strength to bare my weight

Take me away from my disrupted hate.

Give me the gift of perpetual flight

and cover me in your infinite night.

Kiss away my duration, and

invite me in your vampiric nation."

And so my prayer was cast into the night

to the goddess of darkness and all her might.

A soul without a purpose I soon became,

as the rain shed down on me, a beast to tame.

Midnight struck that very night,

as an air of somber took its flight.

" It is I, Lilith " she whispered in my ear,

" It is time for our embrace" as she came near.

She caressed my skin oh so dear,

she promised to vanish all my fears.

Her tongue as soft as a roses petal,

was followed by a puncture as sharp as metal.

My neck soon became warm with blood,

and through my body, an essence of magic did flood.

I felt an untimely agony dissolve into pleasure,

the indulgence of what I felt was without measure.

And as I yearned for what I craved so dear,

The mother of my rebirth soon disappeared

My gain was strength beyond strength,

a path of endurance without length.

I was more beautiful than blossoming flowers,

I had earned an abundance of powers.

I could alter my shape to that of mist, a wolf or a bat.

Enhanced vision, and dexterity quicker than that of a rat.

My heart pulsed into darkness and my eyes did gleam.

Without thought, I found myself among those who blaspheme

And my skin, as pale as snow.

would take damage from the sun, I soon would know.

A creature of the night I did become,

wandering the shadows years to come.

I saw the centuries of time demise,

The ones I loved, killed by the father of lies.

Sacred was my soul that I knew no more,

Trapped in this world, I was forlorn.

I never saw my reflection again,

The knowledge I attained, only brought me pain.

The winds blew my tears across my face,

In society I had no place.

And as I look upon my past,

I see shattered dreams at last.

and although freedom from this world I craved,

In the shadows I'll forever be enslaved.
