Shades

A vampire stayed awake through the day
wearing shades to hide
sensitive sunken black ringed eyes.
Mind running wild.
Unhealthy lifestyle.
No ones fault but his own.
Needs to let it go to grow.
"Sleep."
but he won't.
So stubborn.
So stupid.
Idiot.
Hate it all.
Hate it all.
Afraid to love.
Afraid to get attached.
What's the point?
I don't know.
I don't ever really know.
Want to stop.
Someone help.
Please, kill the beast.
Turn it off.
I want it to go away.
I want my mind and to feel good again.
"Hey, fuck a girl.
Just fuck some girl."
But not tonight.
No one will see my eye's tonight.
They'll be closed
after I take off these
shades.
