Vampire's Single Tear (No. 3 in the series)
She sat on the edge of the rock
Hovering over the water.
In her misery,
She dangled her long finger,
Using the tip of it to draw a heart
On the water's surface.
The mist twisted upward
Encircling his only love,
Trying to offer comfort
For he felt her pain.
Their curse unbearable to them;
Both.
She hissed into the Heavens.
The mist retreated,
Ever so slightly
To her displeasure.
A single tear fell
As she extended her hand to him
The mist filtered through her fingers.
This touch was all that could be felt
Between them.
The memories of their life
Together, in flesh,
Tore through her heart
Further shredding it to pieces
Never to be put together again.
Vengeance grew
Along with the ache,
Emptiness,
And hollowness
Where her heart once was.
Another single tear fell.
The mist covered her
Shielding her from all.
She felt no comfort.
The moss crumbled under a Stranger’s foot.
She didn’t stand to meet the intruder
Arching her neck back, she bellowed at the moon.
The ear piercing sound turned away the buck.
She refused to give into the curse of what she had become.
“Maybe we’ll meet again” lingered heavy upon the air.
She hung her head,
dangled her finger to
Trace the broken heart
Floating on the water
That had been shattered by
A fallen single tear .
The mist wrapped himself around her.
