 I died once

and your reaction appalled me

As you sat back and rejoiced
I underwent a transformation
My face deformed
and hands scored

- Shrieking in the dense air of the hills -

The inn seemed inviting
The innkeeper sat silently
as his happiness faded into pale blackness

- And your laughter filled the hall -

We fed a great feast
Not a drop unshed

[Then daylight]

 I slept once

and you tried to kill me

Your canines just out of reach
You underwent a transformation
Your face mangled
and hands lacerated

- Shrieking in the dense air of the hills -

I let the air out of your heart
and purity bled in

This has to be one of the most unique poems I've read in a while. I really enjoyed it. It had kind of a mystical unreal feel to it. Very very cool.
