She was a phantom of delight
When first she gleam’d upon my sight;
A lovely apparition, sent
To be a moment’s ornament;
Her eyes as stars of twilight fair;
Like twilight’s, too, her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
From Maytime and the cheerful dawn;
A dancing shape, an image gay,
To haunt, to startle, and waylay.
Someones face may look like a doll, but their personality may look like a witch.
Beauty isn’t lining people up and deciding who’s complexion is smoothest, it’s knowing that even if there is someone more outwardly beautiful than that person, it’s their personality that makes them truly beautiful.
The shady man I had seen stalking my town each night was now in front of me.
His dark hair glinted in the moonlight, and his heavy cloak covered his agile body.
I stared into the black abyss of his stony eyes, and as I did, he chuckled, showing me his dagger like teeth.
As he had me in some sort of unknown trance, I could barley feel as his fangs punctured my neck, leaving two small wounds dripping with blood.
Barely knowing what I was doing, I reached around my neck and pulled out my crucifix, tearing the string from which it dangled on, and limply held it out.
The creature shrieked with terror, as its instincts told him to run.
He bolted out of the town streets, and I dropped to the cobblestone floor in sheer exhaustion.
