โ a guardian angel. a spirit of comfort. spirit of any celestial sphere. anything. hear my call. โ
โ you wakened me from an eternity of darkness. โ
โ you are not for the living. you are not for human kind. โ
โ and shall you be one with me ever-eternally? โ
โ come here. thereโs nothing to be afraid of. โ
โ i wish i could stay, my love. โ
โ why have you killed these beautiful flowers? โ
โ i must tell you my dream. โ
โ iโd never been so happy as that momentโฆ as i held hands with death. โ
โ i wish you to have all you deserve. โ
โ you mustnโt leave. i love you too much. โ
โ i will stay with you until you are fast asleep. โ
โ uh, forgive me. i only wish to stay one night. โ
โ by godโs name, never speak of that castle. โ
โ i banish you, i banish you with garlic. โ
โ beware of his shadow. โ
โ the shadow covers you in a nightmare. โ
โ you are late. the midnight hour has passed. โ
โ i wish you to do as i request. โ
โ i will be addressed as the honor of my blood demands it.โ
โ speak not of it again! โ
โ take heed what you do. โ
โ i might ease your wound. โ
โ come by the fire. โ
โ your face shows you unwell. โ
โ do you ever feel at times as if you were notโฆ as if you were not a person? โ
โ look at the sky. look at the sea. does it never call to you, urge you? โ
โ you are fortunate in your love. โ
โ now are we neighbors. โ
โ it is late. you must wish to retire. โ
โ i have been enduring the most irregular dreams. i fear i am taken ill. โ
โ it is a black omen to journey in poor health. you will remain and well rest yourself. โ
โ dream of me. only me. โ
โ oh, heโs coming to me. โ
โ i cannot resist you, my love. โ
โ i am no one. i am his servant. โ
โ look, this is a pretty one. his lordship likes the pretty onesโฆ โ
โ you are lost in his shadow. โ
โ soon i will no longer be a shadow to you. โ
โ soon our flesh shall embrace and we shall be as one. โ
โ i have not failed your lordship! โ
โ embrace me, my boy. i am so rejoiced to see you. โ
โ my dear creature, yes, i am he, and i am hither come to help you. โ
โ my dreams grow darker. โ
โ does evil come from within us or from beyond? โ
โ i shall persist to join you every nightโฆ first in sleep, then in your arms. โ
โ everything will be mixed with abomination, and youโll be knee-deep in blood. โ
โ you are promised to me! โ
โ i will end this plague. this devil. โ
โ he hasnโt found you. โ
โ i feared iโd never see you again. โ
โ you shall crave of me nothing. โ
โ the bells of dawn shall toll in despair of my coming. and i shall taste of you. โ
โ pray, forgive me for all the troubles i have caused you. โ
โ i am only glad you have become yourself again. โ
โ may iโฆ stay with you tonight? โ
โ this creature is a force more powerful than evil. it is death itself. โ
โ i have seen things in this world that wouldโve made isaac newton crawl back into his motherโs womb. โ
โ i have wrestled with the devil as jacob wrestled the angel in peniel. โ
โ if we are to tame darkness, we must first face that it exists. โ
โ i have felt you crawling like a serpent in my body. โ
โ love is inferior to you. โ
โ i told you, you are not of humankind. โ
โ i am an appetite. nothing more. โ
โ i lay within the darkest pit. till you did wake me, enchantress, and stirred me from my grave. โ
โ you are my affliction. โ
โ i care nothing of your afflictions. โ
โ yet even now we are fated. โ
โ your passion is bound to me. โ
โ yet i cannot be sated without you. โ
โ remember how once we were? โ
โ i will leave you three nights. tonight was the first. โ
โ tonight you denied yourself, and thereby, you suffer me to vanish up the lives of those you love. โ
โ you revel in my torture. โ
โ upon the third night, you will submit, or he you call your husband shall perish by my hand. โ
โ till you bid me come shall you watch the world become as naught. โ
โ tell me, what is this insufferable darkness? โ
โ nothing you can say will shake me, for there is a devil in this world, and i have met him. โ
โ iโve brought this evil upon us. โ
โ i sought company. i soughtโฆ tenderness, and i called out. โ
โ at first, it was sweet. i had never known such bliss. yet it turned to torture. โ
โ it was you that gave me the courage to be free of my shame. โ
โ he took me as his lover then, and now he has come back. โ
โ all my sleeping thoughts are of him every night. โ
โ donโt touch me! i am not to be touched. โ
โ iโll be good. i promise. โ
โ you could never please me as he could. โ
โ kiss me. kiss my heart. โ
โ let him see. let him see our love. โ
โ without you, i will become a demon. โ
โ youโre safe with me. โ
โ keep away from me. i am unclean. โ
โ he will murder you if i do not go to him. โ
โ kill him i will. he shall never harm you again. โ
โ i can weep no longer, for i have no more tears to shed. โ
โ the grim reaper wields his heavy scythe with every change of wind. โ
โ the monster left you to the wolves, yet you prevailed. โ
โ his pull to me is so powerful, so terrible, yet my spirit cannot be evil as his. โ
โ we must know evil to be able to destroy it. โ
โ you are our salvation. โ
โ i bid you, come to me. โ
โ your oath re-pledged. so too shall be our flesh. you are mine. โ
