“ in this moment, you are everything. “ ( hi B) )
IT WAS EASIER when all he had to enjoy were fights that had them both kicking sand. it was easier without this cloying sentiment that gathered in grains & SOLIDIFIED into rocks. this language was different than screams bordered by fangs & hands that sported talons.
something very rare flickered in his gaze. the acid in his eyes dissolved, the fragile surface of verdant catching the sunlight. it would have been impossible to miss wide eyes, caught without the barriers & walls church had laid out with his own bricks.
he forced himself to breathe & it steadied his hands.
lips curved in a loose smile. he remembered how he should SPEAK, the bright levels of sarcasm his tongue should soak in every time he said a word. whatever moment was there was already gone with the wind.
‘ just in this moment, burnie ? really feeling the love tonight. ’
any thoughts drenched in warmth he refused to resurrect. even this, had to end.
