The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Sitting alone in this empty place
Lost in the void of one's mind
Where silence echoes
Through the walls
Of this horrific space

There's no peace to find
No happiness to remind
Tranquility's long vanished
Without a trace

Days blend into nights
Visions blur without sight
Leaving only nightmares to stare
At what once could have been
A peaceful mind

Is there anyone that's out there
To erase this internal fear?
Imprisoned and forgotten
When the answers
Cease to remain clear

Lines of what could be, start to fade
Just a shattered piece of jade
Thrown aside by the wayside
By those that who would
Never care

Self forgotten, left alone
No chance to atone
Misplaced, replaced
Was probably better off
Unknown

Feelings of being trapped
Wishing one's self could truly live
Pushed away, with nothing to say
'Cause no one here forgives

Is there anyone that's out there
To erase this internal fear?
Imprisoned and forgotten
When the answers
Cease to remain clear

Only wanting for a better tomorrow
Tired of drowning due to
Inner sorrow
Is it even worth it if one prays?

Hoping to find definitive answers
Yet none are ever found
Intrusive thoughts of misery
Seem forever bound

Ceaselessly waiting
for something, anything
To remove this inner pain
Maybe it was true all along
That this life was in vain

Is there anyone that's out there
To erase this internal fear?
Imprisoned and forgotten
When the answers
Cease to remain clear

Responding to the words within the poem, I'd say life is teeming out here, although it tends to sit silently until you engage yourself with it, a fight, a love, a song, a word, all of it makes connection, and I'd say based on the poem, just throw yourself into life, become life, be life, change life, accept life, in all of its forms for it grows and flourishes whether you watch from the sidelines or choose to become part of its structure.

Life is incredible. I wish I could share with you what I found within it, know, see, love, and even fear. Some of the things I fear are the most incredible of all; true monsters, yet even in their deepest hearts, a deeper love is found, born of pain than ever found in one who has not known the fear of death or the loss of love.

I hope someday your poems will be filled with love and life, for the love of life is so, so, well, it is so.

I wish I could live forever. Earth is a heaven in some ways.

I hope one day you wish to live forever too.

There once was two lovers
Their affection true and clear
With body and soul
They held their love dear

They kept each other near
Even though their families
Hate for one another
Was shown crystal clear

Every chance they'd get
They'd spend time with each other
Hidden within the shadows
Every moment they could spare

Forever a secret meeting
To avoid a possible nightmare
For letting their families know
Was something they did not
Dare

While they gazed into each others eyes
Like a mist of gray
The world would fade away
Leaving behind clear skies

They'd dream about a future
They'd discuss what they wanted
Life to be,
All in the hopes of
Wanting to be happy

Certain people saw it unfit
Neither of their families
Wanted to see
Nor would they have it

They were told
Their love wouldn't fit
That when it came
To each other
It was for the best to forget

So in a single breath
What they thought of
Was a last ditch plan
To fake their death

It was agreed for her
To take a drink
Which resembled ink
That would 'cause her
To fall into a deep sleep

A hard-pressed decision
To which hopefully
their families
would see their misery
profound
Not just some want
That was viewed unsound

It was orchestrated like a song
But somewhere along
something went wrong
A situation occurred
That didn't belong

She didn't wake up in time
Which drew a line
In his inner mind
That he committed
The most forbiddened crime

Thinking he just lost
His one true love
He felt that he was punished
By God above

His mind now unsound
He took a venomous
Poison that was rarely found
Without uttering
A single sound

Moments later
She awakened from her
Deep sleep
Unaware of the despair
Which was to soon
Appear

Her eyes gazing around the room
She soon felt a sense of gloom
Upon seeing what was his fate
Her witnessed a sight
Her mind just could not
Take

Having lost the one
She loved above all,
She picked up a knife
It was the last thing
She ever saw

I agree with Deaven wholeheartedly, and it truly reminded me of the fate Romeo and Juliet both shared. I do love the line she picked up a knife it was the last thing she ever saw a lot because it does detail what's to come next for the character. An unexpected turn of events. Thank you for sharing this! ^.^
