i once wondered if a demon were to bruise would the harsh welt fade to the purple-blue hues i see on humans so as to show that all that is not holy is sinful? if a devil were to injure their physical form, would they bleed red? would they bleed at all? i knew for certain, at least drops of sunlight wouldn't pour from a gash, for ichor only flows from the wounds of gods and angels (i should consider myself lucky) i watch him as he sleeps noticing the midnight marks forming on his throat, collarbone, shoulders, back; inky nebulas on an ivory galaxy. i marvel that i was the one to place them there i know now that he will bleed black but when he kisses me, it does not matter my blood is as black as his.
even if he’s only in it for the gold. || A.R.K.
