Vampirism is all about romance, darkness and lust. And yes, also obsession.
I think the longing for those things has to be inside you from a very early age, creating an unfulfilled chasm that is always there no matter how many friends, lovers and places in the world you pass by. All of it seems empty, until you find your place among the likeminded who understand your depths, because they feel them too. I suppose it's the same for most people. Like attracts like and until then it's an empty void of a world that a person inhabits.
Perhaps a vampire's bond is deeper because they know what they've had to sacrifice in order to simply be. To sometimes turn away from God and indulge in what some might suggest are sinful acts. To share blood with a lover, a companion, the greatest love of your life, it's almost impossible to resist. That's not quite true, it can be resisted, but it's so good a person just doesn't want to resist it, at all. A person wants to just fall in and sink, and experience the heady aromas of connecting with their lover in ways that are dark and taboo and feels like our whole bodies have become something more, something ecstatic. It's beyond euphoria, it's like looking over heaven with everything you could ever love by your side and they themselves, by their blood coursing through your veins, becoming you, and you, through them:
I think a soul needs to be twinned, I think it has to be. I know I felt like half a soul all my life until I found my one, and when I did, I found a whole new world. It's exists within this world, the neighbor, the schoolteacher, the doctor. They'll never tell you, they'll never tell you what it feels like to just .... Abandon yourself to the dark places with your kin and just ....BE. But they're out there, and I'd say, never stop looking, because when you find your one, all of those empty years, and empty tears and struggling with half a soul will make sense, because it's not just about your own search, it's about your 'one' looking for you too. And when you find each other ... wow ... it's better than any vampire film, it's better than anything you ever read, it's sensational:
Although there is a graveness to that connection, to give up perhaps a part of yourself that is Holy, to turn from God while knowing you still adore Him, yet when faced with the kind of depths of beauty that come from hell itself, its so hard to say no. I gave in to my beloved a long time ago. Yet I still have a connection to God. He is still caring, like a father waiting for me. But for now, I live my life with my own kind. We all have kinds. It really doesn't matter what they are, as long as a person is fulfilled without harming others. That's how I lay my guilt, at least.
I hope you find your one. They are out there. And that romance, that dark gothic beauty of a lover who has known a distant time can bring all of those things into your present. Rose petals on a bed, beautiful aromas burning by the hearth, music that can make your very heart hitch in mid beat, it's all out here. And in some ways, it could be forever.
Whilst parts of that life can hold true beauty, when Satan appears, and he is an integral to those kinds of things in my opinion, I think its best and even right that most people won't corrupt themselves in order to travel through to a place where there is no light, no God, and sometimes, no way back.
I'm not promoting that life, it'd be wrong for me to do so. I love God. But that life, and the things that are in it, it could make a person feel like climbing onto a mountain top and screaming forever to diminish the euphoria and ecstasy that builds up inside one.
We make the worlds we live in, and I wish for you all things in finding a world you want to be in.
