alone again in bluepainted houses

down everturning lanes

sunlight burns

moonlight drowns

"you are nothing to me,

and you are everything"

::

He was cold.

He should be used to it by now.

But,

he's not,

and so,

he's cold.

She's cold,

too.

But in a different way.

Cold like snow drowning fresh spring flowers, cold like a cadaver encased in ice, cold like,

like,

like something out of this world.

She's especially cold to him (being who he is, and how long it's been going on, he should be used to this, too).

He doesn't mind (but it's still a cruel surprise),

nor does he ever want to.

Because he knows

all

too

well

that if she didn't act like this,

she wouldn't act like

anything

to him.

He couldn't live with that.

So,

he lets her

do these horrid things

to him,

to his heart,

to his mind.

She doesn't care

whether he likes it

or not

whether he wants it

or not

whether he'd be able to

live

without it

or not.

She doesn't care about him

at all.

Or so she says, she says, she says...

And she says nothing

and

everything imaginable

and

somethings that

aren't,

when no one's around.

Or so he thinks, wishes, believes...

Because he can't let go

again.

So he

stares

at her

while she

glares back

at him.

Because he has

what she's always wanted

and she is

what he's always wanted.
