by Lily Luchesi:
I thought I died
Then I opened my eyes
The moonlight…it was too bright
I had to shade my face
I felt like I was burning
I tried to stand
But it was so hard
I was so dizzy
Weak
And in pain
Blood beneath me
Did I hit my head?
Who punctured my throat?
Was it you?
You strange thing before me
I can see you eyes
Even though you’re facing the darkness
So bright
Drawing me in
Did you hurt me?
“No, I changed you,
Dark angel, I saved you”
How can you say you saved me?
I never wanted to be
Something so strange to me
I’ll never see another sunrise
I can’t awaken until after the sunset
What made you think that I
Wanted to live this way?
It’s a physical pain inside me
This hunger, this thirst
Killing me unless I
Satisfy it
With the blood of what I
Once was
“Don’t you like it?
You were chosen, dark angel”
I don’t like this
Not at all
I want to change back
I want to die
Commit immortal suicide
But I am no coward
I am angry
I want revenge
Yes, that’s the word that tastes sweet
Sweeter on my lips than any blood could ever be
Watch out. my creator, my maker
This time the hunter is the hunted
Lily Luchesi is an aspiring young author/poet born in Chicago, Illinois, now residing in Los Angeles, California. Ever since she was a toddler her mother noticed her tendency for being interested in all things “dark”. At two she became infatuated with vampires and ghosts, and that infatuation turned into a lifestyle by the time she was twelve, and, as her family has always been what they now call “Gothic”, she doesn’t believe she shall ever change. She is also a hopeless romantic and avid music-lover, and will always associate vampires with love, blood and rock and roll.
Her interest in poetry came around the same time as when she was given a book of Edgar Allan Poe’s complete work. She then realized that she had been writing her own poetry since she could hold a pen, and just had not known the correct terms.
She finished her first manuscript at the age of fourteen (the first part in a young adult vampire trilogy) and is looking for it and a poetry collection to be published so that others can enjoy the darker side of art as she always has.
