This series of poems was inspired by a roleplay group chat on Facebook by the same name. Everyone is either Human or some type of supernatural/mythological being (vampire, werewolf, demon siren, etc.).
My character is Akuma, a female vampire. Back in high school, she fell for a vampire named Clyde Drakenhoff. They grew to be close friends. Akuma thought she made it clear that she loved him, but he was too dense to see. After high school, the two parted ways. They didn't meet up until years later. By now, Clyde had a kingdom and the vampire king. He also had a wife, Akira, and children. Akuma, hearing this, became devastated. She became cold, distant, and bitter. She still loved him and could have never imagined he would replace her. Clyde still liked her, but it ended there. Akuma became shattered, a shadow of what she once was, an empty shell with nothing inside. She lost her heart. She lost all sense of forgiveness, remorse, and mercy. This was an act of betrayal in the cruelest form. Nothing would change the fact that he chose someone else. The Underworld was thrown into an abyss for centuries. The people and land suffered from Akuma's wrath and grief.
In time, Akuma became the ruler of the Underworld. This kept her busy, but the pain remained. It would never go away, the crushing feeling of being replaced. She became crueler, colder. She forgot how to love, how to smile, how to care. The Underworld feared her. One day, a demon by the name of Jackie offered revenge in exchange for two things. One was that he be allowed to kill Clyde and his family personally. Akuma, feeling nothing for Clyde for replacing her (and Akira for stealing him away), agreed. The second was that she marry him. Akuma agreed. She grew to love him and in time had twins after a few years.
These poems illustrate how Akuma felt and what she went through. Eventually, I decided to add other characters to give this collection more variety and make it less redundant.
