Shunned for eternity, Cursed for all time Blood in my veins None of it mine Stolen from others Thoughts in my mind Warmth in my body None of it mine While understanding Emotions entwined Others' feelings Will never be mine Frail mortal humans Brief specks of light Yet without I am empty There is merely night Happiness, sorrow, guilt, fear - even pain Without - there is nothing, just endless rain Am I alive? The human kind Have a sort of life That can never be mine I'd trade my eternity, those hundreds of years For an hour as a human, with human fears Human sorrow, and human pain, First-hand love, my own blood in my veins But being what I am, I can never have that So I steal first their thoughts, and then their blood. toothycat.net is copyright Sergei and Morag Lewis |
