butterfly kisses not yet landed,
that wait for the moment to ascend.
They hover only an instant away,
yet take eternity to come.
Enveloped in her dizzying sent,
a mix of vanilla and sandalwood,
heady fragrances in the air.
His hands tangle in her hair,
fingers twist 'round dark locks,
embracing her fragile body,
his mouth hovers over her neck.
She lets herself melt to him,
false security in his arms.
He finally lets his kiss land,
excitement laced with grief,
remorse almost felt.
Soft flesh of her neck bitten,
metallic taste of fear
mixed with flowing blood.
Her eyes dull.
Haunted dreams awaken,
beauty of day passed.
Screams echo in her mind,
past warnings mock her.
All of forever left to hate,
bitter eternity slowly spent,
wasting away her soul.
Taking others with the curse,
not wanting to spend in alone.
Standing side to side,
two friendly enemies,
lovers in a aeon passed.
Their curse spreads slowly,
disease of melancholy,
given to lessen its burden.
Consequences of frivolous love,
games played under moonlight,
played for entirety hence.
