Being Human

Pale hair,
Pink lips,
Regal pose.

Hair covered,
Blood hungry,
Night Lurker.

Clear eyes,
Long arms,
Heart of trust.

Tainted breath,
Wretched musk,
Tortured immortality.

Soulful passion,
Bright being,
Walker of the light.

Comparison?
A wingless bird.
Beauty?
Unattainable.

Understanding?
Unheard, hopeful prayer.
Envy?
Like no other.

Wish for nothing else,
Dream, far better dreams.
Rejoice, in the present self.

What is given,
Is only missed,
Once gone...

Trust, if only this.
You,
Are,
Precious.

Human.

You’re beautiful to me because you’re human. Your frailty, your short years, your heart; even as you think it’s breaking. All that seems suddenly more precious than anything I’ve ever known. ~ Queen of the Damned
