By Thoughtless Encounters

The sadness emanating from her eyes Was a magnet pulling me deeper into her A true mirror To a shadow uncast Everything I saw in her Was surely what loomed from myself For a moment I felt child- like Wanting to run into her arms Burying myself there Wallowing, in not my own sadness But in hers Not to comfort But to see if I could feel To feel something other than my own constant hunger Startled from my thoughts As she moved with the prowlness of death Almost lingering in each step I followed, I had to know more Of the beauty who embraced her sadness Come upon almost one hundred years my immortal Never had I been drawn to the cattle From which I fed This one was so different Yet not so different from myself She had come to a stop Myself a few steps behind Help me!, broke the silent air "An eternity of sadness is all I can give" I forgive you,she said. "Forgive me not for what I do" I forgive you for not doing it sooner, she said. With those words she now flowed into me As I passed back into her. In sadness and the cover of darkness we share Our madness in sanguinary feast
