Only If It Hurts

She was born into elegance-
The kind that smiles at dinners, curtsies to expectations, and never raises her voice.
But silence doesn't mean peace.
And fire can burn quietly, too.

He was carved from darker things-
Power without apology, charm sharpened like a blade.
A ghost from her past, wearing hatred like a crown.

They were never supposed to meet again.
But fate has cruel timing...
And this time, it doesn't ask.

Bound by bloodlines, locked in a life neither chose,
they become a portrait of civility on the outside,
and war on the inside.

Every glance is a threat.
Every word, a knife.
Until hatred bleeds into obsession...
And the silence between them begins to speak.

But love, if this is love, doesn't save.
It ruins.
And what they become may be too twisted to survive the light.
