The Demon In The Darkness
A Curtal Sonnet
A whisper in the air just as I tire.
A being creeping in the shadows there.
A thirst, a hunger for the life in me.
She comes with death or life fore'er: Vampyr.
I feel her touch before I see her stare.
So cold she is with fire I can see
-
For so inside her eyes such life without
A love to share, and so insanity
Doth overtake. Her teeth into me tear,
I give to this old wonder not a bout:
The apple from the tree.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
