How do you see me?
You used to call me friend.
But I told you what I am,
And now you call me a freak.

How do you feel about me?
You used to say you loved me.
But now you know the real me,
You look at me with disgust.

Why do you shun me?
We used to be inseparable.
But since I told you how it is,
You avoid me all the time.

Why do you fear me?
You used to say I made you safe.
But now you know the needs I have,
I see in you only mistrust.

Why forsake me now?
I put my trust in you alone.
I opened my heart and soul,
And you threw it back in my face.

Is this the end for us?
We used to say forever.
But now that the veil is lifted,
I see that all things end.

Why do I ask these things?
Because I thought you were the one.
But it seems I was so very wrong,
I am destined to continue my search.

How can one such as I need love?
Once you would never have asked.
You think I am now so different from you,
But we need to be loved just the same.

Will you ever accept me?
Like once you used to do.
No, I know our time is over,
It is now that I must move on.

I'm not really sure how to say it,
and I'm not quite positive I mean it,
but it's been resting there
in the back of my head
and I really don't know how to sleep.
My attention is just so far off,
and nothing can shake me out of it,
it's like I'm caught in here
waiting for something unknown
can you show me which way the exit is?
My existance means nothing anymore,
and you're constantly nudging my back,
I wish you would just stop it
quit trying to push me forward

The mist glowed with an eerie light,
She held onto his hand so tight.
He looked at her with tender eyes,
And led her firmly on.


The night was cold and chilled her bones;
He spoke to her in soothing tones.
She put her trust in him alone,
And knew she need not fear.


They reached the castles mighty door,
Uneasy thoughts began to soar.
But standing safely by his side,
Her doubts flew swift away.


He pushed the door and walked on through,
Then beckoned her to enter too.

Throughout the ages, attacks on people have been attributed to supernatural creatures like werewolves and vampires, but in 1886, a German neurologist named Richard von Krafft-Ebing noted the compulsive and sexual presentation of the attacks.
