Crimson, running like a river. Softer than velvet, flowing freely. Travelling, pooling, gathering. Like the lyrics to a song, the rhyme to your favorite lullaby, easier than breathing, natural. Blood. It pools at my feet and each step I take leaves footprints in the sand, a bookmark. Every line and vein visible, it brings comfort, it brings chaos, it brings peace. I've played the game of broken telephone, the source always remains unknown, there are 5 of us, going in circles, you speak, I speak, he speaks, she speaks, they speak and then silence.
Here we stand, trying desperately to understand our worlds, to put rhyme to reason and reason means nothing, protector. That is who you are, buried deep inside your tortured soul. I look beyond the façade, I look beyond the beauty and into the soul, where the pain lives and thrives, I look beyond the blue in your eyes into your heart I see, there lies a man. Capable of great evil, willing and able. I see undeniable love as a mirror I see lust, you are my greatest weakness, yet you give me so much strength.
I laughed, exasperated. "I know I'm not your dream girl" I told him, walking away. It felt like I was hitting my head against a concrete wall. Nothing would get through to him.
He pulled me to him, placing his lips tightly against mine. He sealed me in his arms, trapping within his grasp. "You have no idea" He whispered against me, "No earthly clue how obsessed I am with you"
I stared at him, blankly.
Never in the history of any outlaw club has there been a proper collaboration between law enforcement and any club, but when kidnapping, drugs and prostitution takes over the town, affecting mostly the kids. Both law enforcement and the club agree to put their differences aside and try to find the cause of all the commotion taking over their town, however, things become less about the town and more about a certain old lady who finds herself in the middle of a war between an ex-lover and the man of her dreams.
Love. It was infuriating yet strangely addicting.
It swirls in unknown waters, testing its limits before striking. The sensation of its claws digging into your flesh was all it took for it to become entranced.
And then everything collapsed.
Everything began to untangle. Everything slowly crumbled to ground.
Everything began to fall apart.
And you found yourself in the centre of it all, your hands cradling your heart as tears trickled down your cheeks, the salty liquid creating a dark patch on your jeans as it hit the soft fabric.
You're vulnerable. You're scared. You're hurt.
You're broken.
But when you finally have the courage, to wipe away an trace of a broken heart. When you finally lift yourself from the dark pit you had created. When you finally patch together the remnants of your shattered soul. When you finally close your eyes. When you forget. When you become invincible.
When you finally heal.
It all comes back.
Everything.
Like an arrow that had been shot in your back, your eyes widening from the unforeseen attack.
That's what happens.
Because love is dirty.
Love was the ugly, ever changing shadow that would snarl at you, jeering at your pitiful state.
But then it was also the beautiful stroke of the paintbrush, as the brush winded across the canvas, the colours flourishing into life.
Love was a demon, yet also an angel in disguise.
That was love.
