Sickness

Madness.

It wrapped its icy fingers around his neck, squeezing sanity out of him like a boa constricting snake suffocating its prey.

It choked him.

It sickened him.

He couldn't breathe.

He couldn't see anything.

But red.

Red.

It clouded his mind, his eyes, everything in line with him. Red bled until it flooded his vision, like poppies.

Opium dripped from their petals.

Poison invades.

But so does she.

Everything about her was beautiful to him.

She was perfect.

And she overtook this madness effortlessly.

But she made him go insane.

Love sickness.
