An Ode to Time

But what is being a vampire if not relishing in the pleasure of it?

A cruel mistress is she, time

has always been my greatest foe.

Kept away from love, suffering in grime

To be hated by my own kind, we came to blows

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGiTiBqAi9

I once asked death, “Where is your sting?”

He replied, “It lies in your future.”

Often I cannot make sense of such a saying

because all time has given me is a faulty suture

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkms2U1RGA

How can I respect time when

she has kept me away from my beloved?

How then can I move on when

I am treated so poorly by my own blood?

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVBO2dxUL5

Oh time, I have suffered your sting for centuries

When will I know peace?

Is it true that I will never uncover these mysteries,

that I will never find release?
