"Yes, call me crazy, but I think that being a vampire would be fantastic."

it's a pain
bordering on unbearable
enough to bring hot, salty tears
to your eyes and make
your jaw clench
in agony
as you pray

and I am stronger
than ever
I can take it

way worse
its a pain
bordering on unbearable
but I beat it
