I wrote this song based on the Cirque Du Freak series. It's about how the main character, Darren, is first blooded into a half-vampire and is reluctant to drink blood. It was originally a song by Evanescence, but I saw that if I rearranged some words and put in some new ones, that it would create a poem describing how Darren feels. Hope you like it!



All That I’m Living For:

All that I’m living for
All that I’m dying for
All that I can’t ignore
Alone at night


I can feel the night beginning
Separate me from the living
Understanding me
After all I’ve seen
Piecing every thought together
Find the words to make me better
If I only knew
How to pull myself apart

All that I’m Living for
All that I’m dying for
All that I can’t ignore
Alone at night
All that I’m wanted for
Although I’ve wanted more
I need to escape before
The darkness swallows me whole

I am told that this is my way
To survive I must obey
I must be consumed
I cannot presume
My old life for which I’m pining
The hunger is just so reminding
Of the solid fact
That there is no turning back

All that I’m Living for
All that I’m dying for
All that I can’t ignore
Alone at night
All that I’m wanted for
Although I’ve wanted more
I need to escape before
The darkness swallows me whole

Guess I thought I’d have to change the world
To make you see me
To make you understand
I don’t care if I run forever
If it means stopping myself
From becoming a creature of the night

All that I’m Living for
All that I’m dying for
All that I can’t ignore
Alone at night
All that I’m wanted for
Although I’ve wanted more
I need to escape before
The darkness swallows me whole

Should I accept what I am
Should I feel like I do
Should I want to escape before
The darkness swallows me whole
