Deviations in Writing

Lurking in the shadows
I watch carefully as you approach
I smell fear coming from your body
I sense a hunger coming from your mind
You know that I am here
But you cannot see me
You have come to find me
To learn what I am about
But you are afraid
You are just like me
But you are not willing to admit it
I appear out of the shadows
The fear surrounding you increases
You see that I am not how you thought I would look
My eyes are not glowing red
My teeth are not sharply pointed
Yes, my skin is pale, only because I have not
Allowed the sun to shine upon it
So you see, I am very much like you
Your fear seems to lighten
And become less overwhelming
I slowly and gracefully reach out my hand
You shyly take my hand and smile
Now I'll lead you to another world

You ask if I would spend an eternity with you
Yes, I would because I love you
No, I won't because I don't want to get hurt
I've only once cried so much because of a guy
How can I tell you yes?
Of course, how could I tell you no?
I love you, I want you and at times I really need you
But how could I live with this constant fear
That you will kill yourself
How can I live, knowing that you don't want to?
Tonight hurt so badly
It felt as though you had killed yourself
You say that only two people care
You know that is not true
Many people care
Many people would be very hurt if you killed yourself
Do you really want to spread that pain to more people?
You need to understand your problems
You need to realize that people
Do things they shouldn't have
They don't do it to hurt you
They do it because at the time it seems right to them
Baby please understand that I love you
And that I care very much
But please don't make me say something
I'm not ready to say
