I know this is more like a short story but I took a crack at it to see if I could... please let me know what you think... ---------------------------------------- Past Lafayette cemetery Beyond the lonely graves An uneasy feeling swells up inside As if eyes are upon me Piercing into my very being Filling me with terror I begin to quicken my pace Feeling this dark presence Moving closer, almost upon me Soon, running as if for my very life My heart pounding "Must run faster, it's getting closer!" The thought races through my mind Rounding a corner on Church St. Ducking into a nearby alley Breathing heavily Almost melting into the wall Praying that this dark force Will pass me by Looking around, starting to feel at ease Breathing a sigh of relief "It's gone" is all I can muster But suddenly, a venomous voice enters my mind "Am I my young friend?" Frozen by fear, as I slowly turn Seeing this cloaked form Standing before me Unable to even make a sound As suddenly his reaches out its hand Touching my cheek His hand cold and clammy The light of the nearby lamp Allowing me to see his eyes Cold, full of death and violence His voice chills me to the bone "Are you ready to great death?" And without warning or reply He is upon me, gripping me tightly Feeling his teeth pierce my skin Tearing into my flesh A strange sensation consumes me As if my life force, being drained Growls and snarls coming from my attacker Animalistic, his fingers seem like claws, Digging into my body Almost feeling like an eternity later, I feel his fangs leave my neck Releasing me, letting my almost lifeless body Collapse onto the pavement My breath more shallow with each passing moment He slowly kneels next to me Muttering something almost audible His voice like a devil, "I can leave you hear to die…" "Or I can give you immortality… what do you wish?" I lie so very still, unable to move My life slipping away Do I want to die or live? I ponder the demon's offer in my mind… Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.
