My Live, Derived From Pain Poem by Jade DragonHeart

The day I walked in the shadows
Changed my life within hours
A daywalkers life is all I play

My family has long been gone
But what was left behind
Haunts me now, only worse than before

Since the day it happened
Life, has never been the same
My family was torn apart
Because a man who was once a father
Broke a vow of loyalty to the women he married.

Betrayal and mistrust swarmed our hearts
The separation, had now crossed the threshold

Divorce was the first thing
Later, the moving away
Last was the making of a new life, for ourselves

But…

In the middle of it all
A long lost member of the family had died
A fence post to the head was what did him in.
We cried for him
Only the woman and her older child knew the member
I, the younger child had no contact with the lost member

Nothing could replace the black space,
Within those two hearts
The only thing that stood between their pain
Was the love from me beside them

We could not go to the funeral
For we had no way of where he was buried
We wanted to leave our home to see his grave
But the man we lived with, would not allow it

We were in a state of grief
That was unlike any other kind

As our new lives began to go downhill
We had realized that they needed friends
But had no idea of where to start
The older of us two children went to high school
Only later to graduate at a different school
I started at a middle school
Only later to find that I had talents
That no one but me really knew about

I had the gift of seeing things
That not many people can see
I had the gift of writing
Of writing things that my friend could only dream of hearing
I had the talent of showing that I could help those who really needed it
I later showed the one gift that many people had
That was the gift of showing my true self to those I trusted

Only my friends knew of my past
And what had happened in my family
Only my friends knew of my true life

Nevertheless…

We lived in a place that we could call home
If even just for a moment

Later on the older child left the woman and me
To go back to the first home that we lived in
The woman and I were left to live in our new found home
We still had contact with the older child
But we could only call him once in a while

Even though the my life
Was derived from pain
I still live a daywalkers life
Risen from a world long dead
I walk in daylight to finish off my life

The day I walked in the shadows
Changed my life within hours
A vampire’s life is all I play
I walk in the light and darkness
To live the life of an outcast

Betrayal and hatred are still the basses in my heart
The only thing left that is still good,
Is what little love I have to give.
