His eyes, so beautiful. Holding mine captive, as his arms gripped my shoulders tight. I couldn't look away, or his grip would tighten, my thoughts would instantly be erased. He wanted
me to speak, but all would come out is a scared breath. The only thing that was keeping him from hurting me.
No, he wouldn't hurt what he wanted most.
"Why?" I leaked out, gazing into his eyes.
His has let go of my shoulder, he then brushed his fingers against my cheek.
"Why? Because, I don't want to lose what I love again."
What you love? You can't love me" I whispered, slowly backing away from him.
Al moved forward. "Do you really think that?" He asked, looming over me like my worse nightmare.
"I want to know what you did to me! Until then I won't accept it!"
"Stubborn girl, you already have."
And as he leaned forward, My lips were no longer alone.
He was right.
His darkness, his power over people, power over me.
His lips, that taste to crave. To want his body. The feelings rush as my memories slowly return. As if my whole life was truly a lie.
I couldn't pull away from such sweetness.
Even if it was poison.
