A/N: This is for my best friend OswinOswald-. I really should've dedicated one to her earlier. She's an amazing person and has helped me in ways no one can understand. I love you girl!!
Possibly triggering to some.
Hands tearing at my clothes
Fingers tracing the blood across my wrists
Lips against my neck
Hot breath brushing my ear
***
You cut my skin
And kiss the wounds
Whispering words only I understand
Words that make me tremble in your tight, constricting arms
***
You kiss my lips as I sob
And I taste metallic
***
Your hands press me against you
I attempt to still my shudders
So you won't know how much I fear you
***
My breathing is erratic
My heart beats out of my chest
***
Your fingers skim my frightened face
I wince at every move you make
Afraid of the fire that burn deep under all the layers of ice
***
The morning light does nothing to calm my fears
For terror has rooted itself too deeply in my heart
***
My fingers tremble
I drop anything I hold
***
My chest is tight
Making breathing a constant battle
***
I flinch at the slightest movements
My words come out jumbled and broken
***
My pale face
Never noticed in a crowd
I walk alone
No one by my side
***
Secluded
Until you creep in at night
Bringing terror and pain in your wake
***
Sleep is no escape
For it comes with its own terrors
And I wake from them in your arms
But you offer no comfort
Just harsh touches
***
When I wake in the morning you are gone
And I live another day
A shivering wreck
***
Nothing makes sense anymore
Except you
***
The words come from your lips
The ones I have always longed to hear
Whispered against the blood and tears
"I love you"
***
They reek of you
Those words
They will never be separated from these nights of blood and pain
Where there is one
There is the other
