I knew then
yet had no proof
I did not run from
blue-leaf-cloudy eyes
smoke-filled mouth
refused to speak
I could not blame
poltergeists
left with material excuse
I will not stay if
not wanted
not needed
not loved
a vampire dies
on poisoned blood

Well done gothicmoth.....I really like the ending...maybe not for what you had originally intended it to be like. A vampire needs blood and yet sometimes it is the things that we need that kill us...even if we have them...they could be false..or poisoned. Sorry for all the rambling...I was just thinking out loud. Excellent poem!

gothicmoth, this poem really hit me. Betrayed  by someone you love yet you can't proove it?  This happened to me too (ages ago). A terrible gnawing feeling, so perfectly expressed. Love it! (BTW, please correct me if I'm wrong about your meaning    )

I sort of used the cut and paste technique on this one. I had written the first 13 lines in a different order and then moved them around to see what happened. The last two lines wrote themselves. Yes, it is about not being able to prove something so a tangible excuse is made up to get out of the situation.
I hope it's a fleeting ghost, Portia.

Still strength within even but not knowing for sure.

yet had no proof
I did not run from"

Yet you did not run.
simply wonderful.
