oh, it is a shame. for i am but a girl of sharp and calloused fingers, gashes and broken edges, wide-eyed and too naive to realize when her heart is being broken.
she is a better match for you; she is sweet, but not cloyingly so - she possesses tact in spades - she is willing to gossip and chatter and is good at it.
sugar boy, spun of sweet words, with your chocolate eyes and your fragile wrists and your delicate fingers, i would only break you. you know that. you knew that. i would have taken you and i would have clung to you and i would have tried to seep into your soul without letting you seep into mine -

no. it is the opposite. and it is already done; you have already monopolized a tiny part of my heart, whisked away a tidbit of my soul, and i am bewildered and hurt and frustrated. i cannot track it down. i cannot track you down.

You tried to leave.
But we caught you.
Pulled you back.
And now,
Again,
The darkness pulls you back
To the place
We hoped you’d never go.
But you dig in your heels;
Resist.
Fight against.
Rage against the dying of the light.
An adage meant for the old,
Brought back for the young,
Resounding in the words:
“Don’t do anything stupid.”
“Be safe.”
“We love you.”
