RIGHT IN THE FEELS (a compilation)

Path

As a child, Father always told me not to cry. Or not laugh out loud. Or not scream. Keep it all in because that's how a lady should behave.

Growing up, Mother always told me it's just in my head. It's not real. Just pray and I'll be okay. Sleep and it'd all be gone.

Well, look at where that got them. Fucked them right in the ass all the way to hell.

And they said I chose this path, as if nobody led me here. As if monsters worse than me didn't drag my pretty damaged ass down this path.

No, I had no choice. More like, I don't have the capacity to choose otherwise. No one around me shown nor taught me how to live differently.

"Please..." a hoarse voice hauled my mind back to the present and my eyes snapped past the stilleto blade I am flicking in my hand to the bloody form lying on the cold ground. "Why are you doing this? You said... you told me you love me."

Still playing with my blade, I half knelt before my now previous conquest.

He's been trying to talk me out of this, telling me stories he thought might struck a moral sense within me, only that he won't ever find it even if he slice me open – which is what he might be ending up like tonight.

"Honey, believe me, I do. You've seen the lengths I've gone for you. The thing is..." I whispered, the tip of my blade trailing his cheek down to the side of his neck, right where his fluttering pulse is. "This is how I love... the only way I know."

- It's my favorite season, so I wrote two.
Happy Halloween!🎃
