An Eternal Existence

Mia Bolyard

In the shadows I stay avoiding a life as ash Needing a sensation beyond belief Blood that drains from even the smallest gash Is the only thing that brings my soul relief

I once was human then wasn’t in a flash With no heartbeat I wake in disbelief Lying down in formal dress and sash Tears streamed down my cheeks in grief

The years have passed, and acceptance has grown Finding some joys despite the eternal night Sometimes I feel incredibly alone Sometimes I desperately miss sunlight

But all sadness aside I cannot tell you lies At times I enjoy the crimson of both my drink and eyes
