The day betrays again,
Pallor crawls over my entirety
Mirrors are no longer the truth
Ashen grey swallows the only moon
My blood rejoices
My tainted, traitorous blood!
Your blood.
Cascading through my veins
Fated to this murk,
Shackled to your presence
Fading into a daze, slowly,
As frost singes this dread
No!
This will not be my ruin,
I will decide my own doom
This curse shall be undone!
O Count De Ville
My dagger shall impale your heart!
-Mina Harker
