There’s a lightlessness about you that I am attracted to.
Drowning my sorrows in the liquor of her heart sheathes me from the darkest of dark. Her callous iciness and solemn stare riddles me intangible, the apex of Lilith’s desire.
I rest my head in the lap of frozen banks while frost-tipped fingers stroke my hair until it breaks. Uncomfortable as it seems, I’m content with the nothingness of being. We deserve one another (unconditional and unrequited love) this… I am sure of.
Arms claw at me from every which way, but I slip through them focused solely on the belladonna planted within my soul unknown to its lethal nightshade.
Well played
Entranced
I have no chance
But to bend to your will like a Calla at daybreak; pure and poisoned by the pulchritude of a picture in front of a double sided mirror, thus proving that every cloud with a silver lining… is rectangular.
