This is not my fault! I blame this poem completely on the fact that if you re-watch Innocence, drink one Sprite too many, and then listen to the soundtrack to the new 'Romeo and Juliet', you will be driven to write poetry. It is a scientific fact.
This poem is set somewhere between 'Innocence' and 'Passion'.

One body, to lose thee were to lose myself
**************************
Night falls.
Darkness covers the land.
The first stars come out.
The sun retreats.
And he is out there.
When the night falls,
he wakes,
and I can feel it.
When Darkness covers the land,
he walks,
and I can feel it.
When the first stars come out,
he feeds,
and I can feel it.
And when the sun retreats,
he is free,
and I can feel it.
A demon, where there once was a soul.
Darkness, where once there was light.
Hate, where once there was love.
And I can feel it all.
Through a gypsy curse that warped and twisted.
And I can feel it all.
By my Slayer gifts, that cry out to destroy him.
And I can feel it all.
By the love that I still hold for him.
And he knows.
He knows that no matter how I try, my heart refuses to let go.
He knows that it hurts like a knife.
And he enjoys it.
And I know, I shouldn't listen to my heart.
And I know, I should destroy him, who I once loved.
But even though he is no longer who he was,
If I lost him, I would lose myself.
And he knows.
And he enjoys it.
