He burned me like the cigar he was smoking while I was drowning with the stars embedded in the universe of his eyes. And the worst part, you ask? I didn't feel the pain and saw beneath the lies, and then when he with a twitch of his lips, he claimed me like sin should've felt and I lost everything with those lips -- who ruined me whole, and they still somehow felt like sunshine -- just after the storm. *** When Rain Panache gets in a fight with the head cheerleader Lindsay, she accepts a game she shouldn't play.
