He took me into his arms,
I was meant to feel safe.
but safety was far from the feeling that consumed me.
I was a prisoner intertwined with his veins and hollowed out chest.
Every spoken word was like a blade across each damned wrist.
His eyes blazed with the fury of a hundred hell fires.
I reached out to you as if you could save me from this void of oblivion.
The more I reached, the further you got.
You gazed at me with yearning desire.
the desire to save me, but I was already gone.
The time came and I cut each of his arms that were as thick as roots of a thousand year old tree.
I cut away tasting freedom in each drop of the scarlet blood that stained my tongue and teeth.
I cut away hearing symphonies in each of his shrieks of agony.
I cut away and saw the light of heaven in his lifeless eyes.
I ran to you like I was running with wolves. I ran faster than my own heartbeat.
Ran faster than the howling wind.
Ran faster than the stars that filled my mind.
You were so close, I could've touched your porcelain skin.
But the look you gave me was colder than the air that filled my lungs, so I knew
you weren't real...you never were. I manifested you into a reality that was never real. And now...
Im free.
