🕯️ Author’s Note

The third piece in the “Nocturnal” series, “Nyx’s Confession” peels back the veil of myth and reveals the vampiress’s heart. Here, the immortal becomes vulnerable — she kills to protect, yet aches to be loved for her humanity. It’s a poem about devotion through darkness, and how even monsters long to be seen as more than their hunger.

Nyx’s Confession
Poetry by Rowan Evans
(June 9th, 2024)

Fangs sunk in, drained him dry,
To protect you, the diamond of my eye.
You saw my humanity, not the monster
I thought I was, and I love you for that.

Fangs pierced his skin, led him to his end
Just to keep you safe, even if it pushed you away.
But you saw me for something more,
Than the monster, I thought I was.

The way you look at me,
It makes me feel so alive,
Like my heart still beats inside,
But it only beats for you.

The scent of jasmine lingered in the air,
A silent witness to the bloodshed,
Its sweet perfume mingling with the metallic tang of his life,
A testament to my love, my sacrifice.

I leave before the morning light,
And return to you every night.
I don’t know what it is about you,
Got me fighting my nature just to be with you.

In the moonlit shadows, I find solace,
Your presence a balm to my tormented soul.
With each nightfall, the jasmine blooms,
Its fragrance a reminder of the humanity you see in me.

II. Nightfall Serenade | Gothic Vampire Love Poem by Rowan Evans
