IT'S NOT LOVE IF IT DOESN'T BURN YOU ALIVE

The tides always carry a part of hearts away with them as they flood over graveyards of drowned skeletons with liquid hearts still seeping out of their broken ribs. Sayra knew Cinizia was nothing but a catastrophe-a heartwrenchingly beautiful one, but nonetheless still a catastrophe. The moment Cinizia saw Sayra she could feel her accursed veins hum with putrescent poison as the familiar ache which she had learnt to numb over countless years came alive.

Ilvermonia had perfection seeping like warm honey from each and every crevice of its whitewashed walls. Its pristine beauty had always attracted people to their town only for them to leave not long after. Sayra had always wanted to leave her rose tinted town ever since she saw the darkness bubbling underneath, but what she didn't expect was to be caught in the delinquent goddess's web of spun sugar lies and venom laced touches. After all how could she have forgotten that perfection could never be home.
