I'm not sure where I go from here,

with no demons left to exorcise

and no skeletons left in my closet,

I debated borrowing some of yours

for at least a few days

or helping you.

 

Like Abraham Van Helsing,

I find myself onto other endeavours,

as this vampire has been slain,

but it was never my full-time profession

and only occupied my life for a few years,

not the first or last conundrum to arise

in an ever-interesting world.

 

Maybe I am more  V,

Shadow

or Paradise Lost's Satan,

than Van Helsing,

heoric to some

but certainly flawed to all.

 

We are better known for our flaws

than our personalities

and certainly

for our failures over

our success.
