❛ you make a fool of death with your beauty . ❜ HIGH AS HOPE SENTENCE STARTERS ( ACCEPTING ! )
THE NIGHT IS A LIQUID LANGUID THING BETWEEN US . it shrouds us and twines us together . we are tangled in ribbons of shadow and the dark is our deepest intimacy . i am fresh from the kill , white lily dashed red . stolen heat on my lips / blood in my mouth / satisfaction atop my tongue . there is something delicate about the incline of my neck ━ it is stark against the gore spilling over me . HOW CAN SOMEONE APPEAR SO FRAGILE AND YET SO VICIOUS ? we are imperfect creatures wrought with discrepancies . they try to fathom of us together but we are not constructed of the same matter . i wear the face of innocence / i wear her like a second skin ━ but there is nothing but a fragile thread that keeps her and i sewn to one another .
he has seen me in every phase , watchful of my sky , counting my stars . woman becomes the evening . woman becomes carnivore . woman returns to a girl . YOU HAVE NEVER LOOKED AWAY . I AM THE ROSE WHOSE THORNS YOU WISH TO BE TAPPED IN . i let you stay here , in the arcadia of my heart , you howl between my ribs . longing is like the hunger we know most intimately ( and i am starved of him ! the ache tears through my limbs / hums in my veins ) he regards me plainly in the quiet of my home . it is by the candle’s flickering flame yet the heat between us does not waver as the fire does . ❛ you cannot say such things to me ━ ❜ suddenly i am starving once more , my eyes bright , a ravenous blue . YOU ARE THE ONE MAN I CANNOT GET MY FILL OF .
❛ i rather you be cruel . this frederick ... with his pretty words and poetry . ❜ he is not the doctor now but a romantic . IT FEELS LIKE A TRICK / A TRAP FOR ALL MY NAIVE CRAVINGS ( and how desperately i desire to fall into it ) but the wolf is not a beast to entertain deceptions for the sake of personal amusement . he feels no sense of accomplishment at uplifting my spirits only to crush them underfoot . no , he minces his speech . he is methodical and this ━ could have possibly escaped the calculated process of composing his syntax . it is that which intrigues me . i lean into it / i lean into him . we are not touching : not yet but there is an implication of it as my chin tilts upward and his gaze captures my own . ❛ i want to kiss him . ❜ i see his lips . my thumb is ghosting the bottom tier of tender flesh there . is this a wound ? tell me , do i bruise or entice ? ❛ and that is dangerous for us both . ❜ he could swallow my whisper whole ━ i am afraid he will / i am afraid he will not .
