Ours is a tale of bruises, blood, and death

Hate, lust, tolerance, not-lovers, victim-and-monster, not-enemies, friends, beloved

This isn't a fairytale, Luv

You have your Angel for that

I'm no king, rather your sacrificial pawn

I can't be your knight in shining armor

Your Captain Cardboard of the ship named Normal

But I can be your sword, your slave, your flaming offering

I love you

The sweetest words in all languages

No you don't

Lie or truth, it doesn't matter

But thanks for saying it

The greatest gift you gave me

Now let me burn and give you mine
