The blinding light has set in,
My life is no more darkness,
I crave for your shadows,
And the ever grim face.

I remember your raucous laugh,
The creepy call, husky voice.
The way you stood with me,
And you left by your own choice.

Why did you leave behind a void?
Why for me didn't you stay?
Didn't you ever love me?
Why couldn't I stop you from going away?

I miss your whispers in the dark,
The touch of nails on my lips,
I miss your fang baring smile,
And cold, calculative steps.

Ever shall I remember,
How you craved for blood,
And how we stalked victims unaware,
The world with fear you did flood.

I remember your feral scream,
Tearing apart the stillness of the night,
I miss your darkest, deep magic,
And all your deadly fight.

I miss that black cloak,
Camouflaging and hiding what's true.
Behind those innocent red lips,
I've always known resides the real you.

I've looked into those sharp eyes,
An unfathomable pool of dark,
And how you lashed out at your prey,
Like a hungry shark.

You had the sight of a vulture,
Your flowing, raven black hair,
And palest of the faces,
Like a withered little child in fear.

None but me saw the real you,
Behind those crazy locks and insane ways,
They say you're a monster, evil.
But the truth your heart loudly says.

Oh my Deathly Della,
My withered rose, shattered heart,
Wish I could be with you,
Only towards you I would dart.

But you're gone, lost, forgotten,
Into the abyss of death and fear,
And into the land of eternal respite,
May you rest in peace dear.

-From your darkling, Adam.

This is a DIRGE which is mainly a sad poem, read at a funeral, mourning the death of a dear one. A monster mourns his beloved here.
