"…Be my friend,
Hold me,
Wrap me up,
Unfold me,
I am small,
I'm needy,
Warm me up,
And breathe me…"
I stood under the steady flow of the waterfall, letting the cold water engulf me as I sung the haunting song in my soft voice. My voice was something unique, something that very few beings possessed. Not just because I could reach any and every note known to man kind, but because with my voice, I had the power to draw people to me like moths to a flame. It wasn't as strong as my relatives the sirens,-and not nearly as dangerous-but it was close enough.
"…Ouch,
I have lost myself again,
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break…"
And that's when it happened, the moment I was discovered, it was all at once the greatest and worse moment of my life. Unknown to me at the time, that was the moment that would ultimately decide the rest of my life.
Sometimes I find myself wondering, maybe, if I would have reacted differently, perhaps have ran or hidden, things could have turned out differently. But I can't bring myself to regret the events of that fateful afternoon. For if I hadn't turn around like I did, if I hadn't looked into those eyes, those beautiful mahogony eyes, I would have never known this feeling.
This beautiful burning passion within me, this pain, this lust, this deep, unwavering feeling that consumes me, the only thing that's keeping me alive. That keeping either of us alive. Love.
