Shadows of Regret

In shadows cast, I silently dwell

A life of darkness, I know too well

Once I was full of hope and light

Now I hide away from day and night

Feeding on beauty that fades with time

A sorrowed soul with no reason or rhyme

Can I ever find my way back home?

Lost in a world I’ve always known

Haunted by the sunrise I can’t see

A life of darkness defines me

Oh, I regret the life I’ve claimed

Drowning in the shadows of my shame

Craving the warmth I’ve never known

A lonely heart of stone and bone

Destruction’s cost, the price I pay

Never the dawn, just endless night and gray

Can I turn back, rewrite my fate?

Or am I destined to forever hate?

A vampire’s plight, a torment deep

In darkness bound, I silently weep

Yearning for the light I missed

A life of darkness, forever dismissed
