”The beautiful young man took me completely by surprise.”
– Charlaine Harris, Dead Until Dark

The beautiful young man took me completely by surprise
He appeared out of nowhere in the dark and dusky room
And my breath quickened, drawing him closer,
He held out his arms and I swooned.
My neck arched and lengthened,
The beating of my heart pulsed through my veins.
His eyes held mine, hypnotizing me
Until he lowered his head to drink
His fangs piercing my skin and making me gasp
As I gave myself up to him.

Nothing can keep us apart
whether separated by the ocean
or the highest mountain range,
at each side of a desert
or at opposite ends of the world.

In this life or after
we will be together.

I see myself in mirrors all day long…
in my car I catch my eye when looking back…
the hand mirror reflects harshly, critically, sparing me nothing…
not as forgiving as the mirrors in my home, gentler in the soft light.

In my eyes I see pain,
and I stare deeper,
nearly falling into the blackness
until I see a spark of hope and love.

If I could I’d break the mirrors
and shatter my reflection
and rely on what I know, not what I see
reflected in me.
