Just three miles
from the rest stop *Even before, before we were wounded by our pride and their prejudice, you were repulsed by me. Hated me. Hated me for the soul I didn't have. Hated the humanity that clung to me like graveyard dirt. The stench of weakness drove you from me.* You said - while you were sleeping *Driving for nothing and heading to nowhere and what do I do now? You didn't want me, Sire mine. Not then, not now, not ever, you said that last time. Slayer said it better, said I was beneath her, but even in your clumsy words and twisting eyes I could see it. Beneath you, not how I want to be but how I was. Writhing but not in ecstasy. In pain from the heart you took, the heart you said I didn't need.* Just three miles from the rest stop *Pull over, feed. Throw up again. Blood won't stay down, won't sit and rot with my soul. Soul doesn't like blood. Broken man, broken vampire. Useless gob of flesh and demon. Even the damned have more than I; the lust of a thousand devils is better than the indifference of one--my Sire. You damned me to salvation. Now what do I do?* |
