Hell On The Throat
"Well, it's hard to belong to a girl or a song in the case of a selfish believer…"
-Dashboard Confessional, 'Hell On The Throat'
He has no idea what it feels like to be bitten, but the sting of betrayal is all too familiar. He sees it burn in her eyes, twist on her face, cry out in her voice, and all he could do is run.
"Get away from me!"
The world becomes a blur of black oak and pine. Despite the burning in his legs, the only thing he could feel was the heavy throb of guilt and the ache in his chest.
He may never know what it's like to be bitten, but the anguish in his throat might come close.
