I walk along a moonlit road,
alone without a friend;
and then the darkness grabs my hand,
and seeks to pull me in.

I begin to see what disappears,
and feel with no arms there.
I attempt to walk but do not move,
for black water grasps my hair.

The black turns to red,
that is all I see.
I try to pull away,
but it flows into me.

I walk along a nightime road,
alone without a friend;
but thats because I grabbed his arm,
and killed him once again.

To explain this poem, i will say basically,a person is walking alone down a سٹریٹ, گلی when a vampire attacks them. They lose all of there senses but know that they still have them. The black water symbolizes unconciousness. When the black turns to red, that is when they relize they are beginning to die, and since they are dying, that is all they will see. When they try to pull away they are attempting to get away from the vampire, but they die. The last stanza is from the vampire's point of view. He was going to befriend the human but then his instincts took over and he killed him. When I say 'killed him once again' I mean that he killed the reincarnation of his best friend, as he always had. If آپ look at the two picures, آپ notice that one has a moon, the other doesn't. The moon is supposed to be the human.
