Inspiration from Alice Cooper's Poison.
Set in the Cophine fight. Delphine's POV.
"Your cruel device,
Your blood like ice.
One look could kill,
My pain, your thrill."
Your cruel words are the only weapons you need. Iced hatred must run through your veins for you to have this complete change. Never have I seen you look at anyone or anything like that. But then again. I suppose despite all my knowledge about you, I really have no idea who you are.
If I have to see one more moment of the expressions of your face, there will be nothing left of me. I am so caught up in your web that one look from you could end me.
Does my obvious pain thrill you? Does it excite you to know how you have wounded me so?
I wasn't supposed to fall for you. But I did. And I told you.
All I wanted was to love you, I know shouldn't try to touch you for you keep pulling away, I should stop trying, but all I want to do is hold you. My senses crave to kiss you, I want to taste you, I want to soothe away your tears, calm your raging heart… But I better not touch. You don't want me. You've made it clear your venomous distaste for me.
You won't believe me. And why should you? My whole life was a lie, my name you didn't even know.
But your friendship has burned up to a poison that runs through the very fibre of my being, running through my blood stream right down to the very atoms that make up my solidified body, binding me together. And I don't want to break these chains, I don't want to break my ties to you.
I hear you crying and it's needles and pins to my heart, I hear you screaming my name, telling me to get out, little miniature swords stabbing at soft, weak, vulnerable flesh. I didn't want to hurt you, when you asked, I told you the truth because you are so far under my skin, buried so deeply in the tangles of my soul and identity… but now your rose has turned to withers and thorns are overgrowing, points rising and pressing against the confines of my heart under your control.
But perhaps it's not your poison so much as you're poison. You are the poison, the kryptonite, my fall. I have to go.
Wordlessly I leave.
