WARNING: SOME MAY FIND TRIGGERING.
Dedicated to @weirdfina for being so amazing and supportive! Thank you!
(The poem below I wrote myself -- I thought it went well with the chapter..)
How do you sleep at night
Knowing what power you hold,
Consuming my fire; eternal love.
To strengthen your weakness.
Abate my strength,
Remove it from me.
What fun is it to have
Me filled with glee?
Will you sleep with me tonight?
Hold me one time.
Make me worth a diamond
Claim me -- you're mine!
Possess what I never had
And lend it out to me,
Help me to grow--
As this life's what will be.
Will you sleep with me tonight?
So I can feel valued, loved;
Not feel like the black sheep;
Empty with sorrow, joy all gone.
Purge me, cure me, cleanse me.
You're mine.
This poisoned love
Is not worth my time.
But,
will you sleep with me tonight?
It may cure my irrevocable
damage.
Wash away my pain
Like a river's flood;
Erase my memories,
The darkness -- for good.
Chapter 21 - Feeling Sorrow
Indigo~
My palms were sweating but I felt strangely calm.
Instead of panicking I felt entranced by the whispering breeze as I opened the balcony doors and stepped out into the cold night, shivering at its touch.
Come to me..., The trees seemed to whisper as I neared the balcony's edge which overlooked the empty street.
Come to me... The strange voice repeated.
Shuddering with a sick kind of pleasure, I triumphed at the fact that for once something wanted me -- even if it was just the dark night itself, imploring me to fall to my death.
Branches scraped against each other and leaves flapped brilliantly, making the breeze sound like a hiss.
Not thinking clearly, I quickly raised my leg over the railing and settled myself on top.
Being five stories up meant that I was high off the ground - very high, in fact.
High enough to be proven fatal for a vampire if they fell.
