In thousands of years, in hundreds of lives,
I wandered alone, no warmth survived.
But never before in this world had I known,
That I’d find a being like you alone.
Your presence warmed my cold, dead chest,
A feeling I thought forever at rest.
Your gaze like sunlight, golden and true,
A touch I’d long since bid adieu.
You envelop and melt me, slow and unseen,
Like springtime creeping where winter has been.
I see what you do, the kindness you weave,
A trait among humans I could not believe.
I thought it mere fantasy, foolish, untrue
And that, I must say, is rich from me too.
I saw her first beneath the moon,
A fleeting figure that exhaled a tune.
Her laughter wove a golden thread,
And stitched a song inside my head.
I watched her hands, so soft, so light,
As she cradled away my fright.
She did not know, she couldn’t see,
The way her warmth drove a stake through me.
I traced her steps in cold dry air,
Leaving roses for a lady so fair.
I knew the scent that graced her hair,
A mortal spell—so bright, beautiful to bare.
I learned her voice, each rise and fall,
The way she hummed a tune unknown.
Her heartbeat was a cherubim’s call
The only sound kindness had shown.
One eve, I spoke, my voice like dust,
A vampire’s heart, resigned to rust.
"I love you more than blood or time,
Say you’ll stay, and call me thine.
I wouldn't mind eternity dear,
For you have made me feel sincere.
Like no one before, you've shattered the cold,
And gave me warmth more precious than gold.
I believe we are woven as two,
That fate made me only for you.
I swear on the stars, on night and its hue,
That nothing could keep me from loving you.
I'll bring you wonders yet unseen,
A world untouched, where stars still gleam.
I'll give you years, a love that burns,
A life that never dims nor turns."
She touched my face, so warm, so kind,
And left my world of night behind.
A sigh, a smile, a gentle plea—
"Oh, how I wish I could love thee.
But love’s no gift, nor fate’s demand,
It blooms or wilts within the hand.
And though you glow in my dark,
I cannot feel a lover’s spark."
Years have passed and still I dream,
Your laughter lingers, a golden gleam.
I watched you wed,hold your vows true,
A life you built with no me and you.
You bore children, I remained
A shadow lost without a name.
Centuries pass, yet none compare,
Since you there has been no care.
You were the love of my life
The one who I could have seen become my wife
You were my heart, my only light,
Yet I must live in endless night.
No hand to hold, no warmth remains,
Only love that lives in veins.
And still I stand where once you shone,
A ghost who loves but loves alone.
Your name, your warmth, your fleeting tune,
A love that never was—but bloomed.
