SUN SETTING

xvii.

i. strip me of my flesh/ tear me to pieces, darling. rip me apart, and bare my bones to the world. i can't help falling in love with you, even if destruction is all that will pass, at least the past will last.

ii. scarred brains are the best/ i know, i know, i shouldn't have come. it's midnight here and murder resides upon the bloody streets. but please, i'm begging you, let me in. i'm scared, so scared. and you seem so safe.

iii. love what can't be loved/ i think i understand now, what you meant. and i think that i don't care. sweet honey is all that i see dripping from your mouth and yet everyone else sees blood blood blood.

iv. i am a broken entity/ i saw, i finally did. your curling horns decorated with wreaths of thorns, your broken wings as they stretch their best to the cloudy sky. your burnt halo, i never realized how easily one could elude themselves.

v. i loved something/ they say the devil lies but that's not true. not one bit. you told me everything. i refused to believe. i should've believed.

vi. closure for the heart, the brain, the skin/ i deteriorated into oblivion, spiraling in the loss of my fantasy, i had no idea what anything was. what it this? you touched me and i thought i was holy. loved by an angel, i knew destruction would follow. i didn't realize though.

vii. ashes were my building/ i know i know, you told me i was nothing. you used me, i get that. but is it ever wrong to want revenge. rightful, by the way. you use me, i use you, it's a never ending anomaly.

viii. we've arrived/ i've torn down your empire, watered your flames, and you sit in the scorches, realization in your eyes, i hope. i'm laughing, did i mention that. i found hell, and i destroyed it. eloquence was never my style.

ix. i'm no angel, either/ my words are blunt blades decorated with black blood, can they even be considered words. i chop and hack, bruised and broken but i'll never stop. i am a tsunami you fool, you built me up and now i'll take you down.

x. goodbye/ our love is lost, replaced with hatred.

– i would say i'm sorry, but truthfully? i'm not

A/N — guess what's almost finally over! Hel- I mean school. Yeah, school. But seriously, I'm sorry for the hiatus, I kinda decided to procrastinate on a lot of my work an it piled up around the few ending weeks so I decided to take a little break from one of my biggest time consumers. But anyways, I'm back(ish) and yeah...
