this illusion-
disastrous
this face-
just a mask
these eyes-
only windows
into my desolate,
dispirited soul.

I step out into the night, a lone and solitary figure.
Will you not hunt with me as you have so many times before?
Energy flows through the city tonight.
And I'll stand in the shadows while you reach for the stars.

Will you not take me with you as you have so many times before?
As you have done so many times before.
But I haven't the time to wait for you now.

For the hunger burns deep within me and it demands release.
I am a slave to its power, a lover to its kiss.

Pain every day your presence haunts me

why you stay even after death your ghost stays haunting me

every other of us says i am just losing my mind after so long
