She kisses me like it means everything to her.
She possess me completely and I feel no longer alone. My companions suddenly become her sadness, her sorrow, her regret. I can feel them enter me with her sweet tongue.
I never imagined that such passion and ferocity could be felt in the meeting of two lips. At times it scares me but I know I must endure.
It hasn't always been this way. Her kisses used to taste like home.
Is it fear? Is it the terror, guilt, and shame of past deeds? Are her unrelenting demons chasing her again? Do they plague her at night and haunt her during the day? Does she think to quell them by kissing me so hard that my lips turn color?
I wish I could help. I ache for her, for her sadness that seeps into her very touch, the one that grows more demanding, more insisting by the hour, by the minute. I would do all that I could for her if she would only ask.
But still she will not. Words are too heavy for her. So I let her take my freedom, my independence, from my bruised and sacred lips.
