all through that weekend

he 

was all she could think about 

like a moth being drawn to a flame

her thoughts tugging her towards him, though she knew 

it would only hurt. 

that night he visited her

a dream.

a dream of hands that caught her as she fell from skies dark as eyes

hands that curled their fingers around

crushing the air from her lungs. 

she would wake up gasping

drawing in shaking breaths through a mouth stretched wide in fear

she barely knew him 

yet she could feel him

burning through her bloodstream.

a warmth that grew and grew till it felt like flames crawling under her skin

she tried to block out the thoughts of him

fight fire with fire as she drank spirits that scorched her tongue and throat 

but what use is drowning your demons

when you find out they've learnt to swim?
