All eternity.

[darkness0within]

All eternity.





Once we lived a life

so devoid of pain and

suffering, and we could

feed within the night as

vampires should without

a care for life, or question

the meaning of our existence.



I don’t know for sure

when that slow creeping

madness came upon her.

All I know is it was a slow

progression of events that

led her spiraling downward

to insanity.



Admittedly I turned her

from the world of light,

for her beauty was so hard

to let slip by. So by my bite

I made my own graven

image of desire,

an image that I now regret.



And so we shared the

darkness of the night,

the pleasures of our sin.

The excitement of the hunt.

The sating of our hunger

with the kill.



Perhaps eternity is too

much to bare for some,

I should have drained

her dry and left her to

that heaven where she

once wished to dwell.



Even now I hear her cries

and ravings as I wait for

night to come,

those plaintive cries

for blood she’s lacked

for twenty years.



Her coffin sealed

for all eternity.





Darkness.

Eternally fabulous, my friend!

Thanks for sharing, Darkness.

I thought of how someone might react to the realization that they would be on this world forever. And how individuals might react over time.

You have to ask yourself would you really want to live forever?

It's perhaps not what you would think it might be. You would not be able to stay in the same place for too long as people would become suspicious of you. You would need to constantly learn new languages and customs to make sure you don't stand out too much in the crowd. That is of course if you lived in populated areas.

To become a drifter through the world at large. Live for a while somewhere, but have to move on when the time came. That's not for everyone. Only a few. It would drive many insane after a while. Then what could you do? So probably best the four score and ten.

Thank you anirbas for reading my friend.
