Guys Like You

The sunlight bathed his face as he took a gentle step towards me. He cocked his head slightly and narrowed his eyes, like he always did when he was trying to figure something out, appraising me with his deep blue eyes.

I could see his face clearly now. Those cheekbones and jaw line that I’d come to love so much all those years ago, this was the face of the demon I'd fallen for so naively.

It was always guys like him, the bad boy type who wore leather jackets and gave off the air of arrogance with just a quick smirk.

"Don't you get it Ava? You're one of the lucky ones," he said finally.

Lucky. I sure as hell didn't feel lucky. I was trapped in a body I didn't want. All I'd ever wanted was a simple life and now, I got to live forever in some superhero body. If that was lucky, then why wasn't everyone lining up to become a vampire?

What would you do if you couldn’t even feel?
Not even pitiful pain
How would you deal if the indecision's
Eating away at the days?


Don’t you know people write songs about guys like you?
