Revenge (vampyre poem #22)

they were determined to kill her,
to rob her of her very existence
first by destroying her mind
then by attacking her body.

not normally a vengeful lot,
this woman had committed the
gravest of immortal sins
against their brotherhood.

she had befriended, gained the trust of,
loved, and bore the child of
one of their respected elders –
one of the oldest known of their species.

then, she used that trust and knowledge
to kill the vampyre when he was vulnerable,
sending an ash stake forcefully
through his still heart.
