There is darkness around me.

There are noises around me.

They are dancing around me.

I don't want to be here. I never wanted to be here. The tall woods burning behind me, the bones drumming on the skulls, coconut shells are filled with blood while I am sitting on the throne.

And they are dancing around me. Chanting my name. Bowing to me. Praising me. Whispering their wishes to me. Wanting to touch me. The loud noises echoing in the air, moon in the sky disappearing behind the gray clouds and the pitch black darkness rising.

My wrists tied to the hand-rest of the throne, ankles tied to it's legs. Eyes shut by the thin strip of red silk, unknown hands rubbing ash on my naked torso and chanting foreign language in my ears.

Once in every year.

.

"Dance with me." A voice. A voice calmer than what I pretend to be. A voice reassuring than the day after night. A voice that made into my brain instead of ears and unlocked the chains.

Whisky pools looking deep into my eyes, trying to read my face, trying to entire my mind and trying to calm my soul. Those delicate hands holding me into arms, patting and caressing and tucking me into safety while I...

"You have no idea who I am." While I'm trapped into the darkest corner of my memories. I always avoid clubs, pubs and casual parties for a reason. The darkness, voices and dance around pushes me into the memory I always avoid unless it happens again.

It is going to happen again.

"I have a year to know so." Her palm rested on my cheek, pulling my face closer when she needs to push me away. She needs to push me away. She needs to push me far far away even if staying close to her is the only thing I need right now.

Yes.

Yes I want to be held. Yes I want to be held in arms. Yes I want to be held in arms safely. I want her to pull me out of this place and tell me that I'm still a human. I want her to look me in the eyes and see if my soul is still there. I want her to-

"Lilith..." Her name is connected to hell yet all I can feel is heaven. She can redeem me. She can bring me back to where I was. I want to be where I was. I want to be who I was before.

She is the only way.

She is the only way.

She is my only way.

"Let's get you out of the crowd." She said, moving her arms away from my body but I needed them. I needed her skin on mine. I needed her to me. I needed her scent for it is the only thing I'm familiar with in this ocean of unknown.

.

Her hair, I'd rather be lost in them.

Her voice, I'd happily listen to it.
