Roads are desolate. Yet, it smelled like people; no matter where I went, someone could see me—the shadow’s hunt.
Those reddened, twitchy eyes would flash in my direction as a ladybug; the black blotches serving as their many pupils scattering across my figure. Veins in those disgusting eyes; I just want them to explode into a red lake.
Those eyes; they aren’t eyes, they’re mouths. Those mindless idiots ramble on and on. Their faces all blurred together into sludge. Who is where? I don’t know what anyone is; they’re all shadows, leeching off my skin.
I can’t get rid of those eyes; those blood-sucking mouths. Their sludgy bodies clung to me like a disease; my only medicine— you.
The mint in my throat chilled my spine when I breathed. I lowered my breaths, my fingers caressed your sleeping face.
The peach fuzz on your skin tickled my fingers; I couldn’t help but feel my stoic expression melt. Your skin soothed me— the only soft sensation I felt in this world of sharp daggers.
The moonlight hit your face just at the right angle, illuminating those cloudy eyes and adorable nose. Brushing my fingers over your hair, I pulled the thin strands back, looking specifically at your face.
“Thump, Thump, Thump”
Your heartbeat; my light, my everything. If only I had the guts to wretch it out of your body… I’d set up a lab to keep it pumping, repeating that same beat. Vials, test tubes, electricity… it didn’t matter the cost.
But, I would never cut your skin into ribbons of gore. Your body is as soft as a doll; as warm as a pet.
I don’t deserve you.
I’m sorry, it’s hard to keep myself together. My skin is peeling away; eventually, I’ll just become a monstrous shadow— even now, my eyes are sucking up all of your brilliance. I want to tear you apart; I want to keep you safe.
It’s insanity. I can’t — my lungs are breaking, holes punctured from your shimmering rays penetrating me. I am always breathless.
No matter what; even when the world judges me, and when people reject you; I’ll stay.
