From Ephemeral Pain to Everlasting Anguish

From Ephemeral Pain to Everlasting Anguish
The outskirts of a small resort town
A supposedly haunted mansion
Where no one came back from

Sent to alter their fate, for honour or by death

In the shade of a dark manor
Human bodies were scattered throughout their way, silent
Distressed, their conceited pride faded, almost all of them fled
One too confident did enter

And he screamed!
Shrivelled in a corner, shivering, a woman, holding her heart in her hand
Bloody tears dripped from her ebony tears, though, in her glance, dejection

Bewildered, he conceived her feasting upon him
Constrained to react, he ate her beating heart

What was released from his hunger for blood
Should have remained imprisoned within him
Coming back different, his eyes cruelly enlightened

In a labyrinth of gloomy dreams and horrid visions
He realized his nightmares were in fact his felonies

Constantly lusting a prey, avid, thirsty
His hatred consumed his mortality

Though, fear spread like plague, through human minds
Men did not slow down, the rate of their manhunt
Fought and overcame, chained then buried
Forever or less
