In this graveyard
                        I dwelt wintin alone
                    without thought
                nor love.

I am trapped, forgotten at the gates
                               locked in
                                          with
                                              nothing
but the sound of the dead.

As my torment continued
                                    I
                                     slowly
began to lose myself
         and
hate the beast I was,
until that night I was poised atop the gates,
those gates which I cannot leave,
as you passed you gazed up at me.

I bared my fangs
                    showing you my true
                               nature,
but you still stood there looking at me
                                                                    as if transfixed.

I then fled further in the land of the dead,
and you walking through those dreadful gates
as though searching for
                                    something.

Again

our eyes

met

you seemed to be amazed by me,
though I did not know why,
I then emerged from those shadows that held me
                                                                      close and
                                                                      tortured me
those long and merciless years.

You stepped closer to me and I asked you if you knew what I was
all you did was nod
And for some strange reason you seemed to smile.
I moved closer and
                                 I told you about my damnation
                                                                            and you just smiled.

To my suprise you said that you wanted to share my gift and
                                                                                    stay by my side for eternity
as mortels withered and died
                                                    around us
with the passing of time.

I share this curse with you...my love.

Those gates that blocked my dark path were cast
                                                                       asunder
as we live troughout time
as immortals cursed by humanity,

loved by eachother.
