You hate her.
Really hate her.
You sometimes think she is the most evil person you've ever known
(cunning&sly&treacherous)
She eats away at you like a toxin, eroding all your defenses
You think that she wanted this all along
Because even if all you can think is I hate her
At least you're still thinking about her
You wonder if she was born like this
(Corrupted&dangerous&dark)
Or if something changed her
Made her the monster she is
But then, with one flick of her auburn hair
And one small, perfect smirk formed on her soft lips
You come to the conclusion that she was always a destroyer
You don't find it surprising that she captures you back
You've known her awhile, and just as you know her, she knows you
You can't help but think that in a separate world, she would be the reformer
And you would be the one poisoning everything you touch
What surprises you is this:
The touches
(soft&comforting&gentle&teasing)
The words
(velvet&silk&addicting)
The looks she gives you as she circles you
She is the predator, and you the prey
You are alone with her quite often,
And the feeling stirs something in your stomach
It's funny how her name means 'pure'
She is anything but
She taunts you
And she knows her words are the finest kind of torture
Fingers brush your shoulders
Hair falls in your face
Lips are just inches from yours
(pink&plump&smooth)
It's a dangerous game she's playing
And at the end of every day, when you close your eyes and refuse to give in
She leaves
Only to come back and tempt you more tomorrow
Finally, the day comes
You are alone once again
You find it ironic that the blood she spills matches her hair
You're tied to the wall, immobile
You can't fight her off as her fingers grace over you sides
She's so close that you think she can hear your heartbeat
Then you see her eyes
Look into their dark depths
You recognized an emotion that you didn't think she could express
Fear
You realize that she might want you as much as you want her
The darkness to your light
The hatred to your love
Lips meet in the darkness
You wish your lips were punishing, but the kiss is anything but
(hot&sweet&sensual)
Covered with thinly veiled desire
The chains are leaving your hands and feet
She knows you won't run away
Doesn't want you to try
The rest is sweet nothingness
Soft moans, trails of fire along your bare skin
Waves of passion and desire and pure want surging through your veins
And when she groans your name into your mouth
And the hardness in her eyes fade
She is finally real
She is an addiction, you realize
You can never get enough
A game of Russian Roulette
And all of it feels so wrong
And you want it all to be right
Because, admittedly, she makes feel
Really feel
And when she still hurts you
A wonderful act, you think,
You can see something in her eyes
Some emotion
Maybe it's wishful thinking
Maybe you don't want to believe how awful everyone says she is
Her love eats away at you
Corroding your heart
Eating away at your soul until you have nothing except for her
It's a deadly game you're playing, you know
And, however scary and terrifying and wrong the thought might be
You do not feel alone with her
Not really
She still damages you
Those virulent words that hit you like a brick
You think you must be a masochist
But you have built a fragile life with her
One that's based on insults and frenzied kisses
You try to keep it up as best as you can
Because with one breath, like a house of cards
It will all come crumbling down
Before the sea of light, noise, and debris
Her lips find yours one last time
You can feel her heart
Feel her desperation
Feel her unspoken apologies
The world fades to blackness
Her image is still burned in your mind
When you finally come to, you get a letter
No return address, no postmark
You would recognize the neat, slanted writing anywhere
It contains one sentence:
Just because you're with her, doesn't mean that you aren't mine
There is no doubt who the 'her' is
The woman who's been keeping a vigil at your beside
You let the words blaze in the fire
She is right
You will be hers
Forever and eternity
The hold she has on you is unbreakable
No one can save you now
Your love could save the world
Or burn it to the ground
Don't you know, darling?
To love is to destroy
Yeah, I write poetry weird. I was inspired by a whole bunch of stuff, as some of you can probably tell...haha. I decided to write this because I was reading City of Lost Souls and I accidentally read the epilogue and I am in furious tears...so yeah, review?
