MOONDUST • NAMO

Venus

Every time it happens I only go further and further down. It feels like the only hell I deserve.

"Am I really the one to blame?" I asked her, while she slept in the most peaceful way, so vulnerable I could almost feel her love again.

Almost.

Venus used to be the goddess of love. What happened to our love? What happened to us that once no one could ever tear our bond apart and now every single little thing just pushes us further until we're miles away?

"Whose fault is it?" I ask, not to her, but to the skies, waiting for a reply that would never come because there wasn't one. It wasn't meant to be.

I try to believe it but she always proves me wrong.

And the proof now is in the way she wraps her arms around me and breathes in as if she's in the safest place possible. But how come if I'm a warzone?
