Coming down, Halsey

There's something unexplainably dark about her weapon. Something that goes beyond the black blood or years of nightmarish encounters with the true evil of this world.

Something in his soul is lurking just beyond the realm of her understanding. Like a deep melody played for the deaf she can feel it rattle against her, feel its intense power but she cant quite grasp it.

He's good about keeping it hidden. He holds back the darkness inside him afraid it might taint her light. She had only seen a glimpse or two when he got especially aggressive in battle, or an injury of hers was too extensive.

But she can find it now, swimming in his eyes when another man steals her attention. She can feel it press against her when a stranger flirts to hard.

And she finds it oh so enticing when that darkness is telling him exactly how to punish her. When his glare turns murderous and his grip is firm. When he feels the need remind her who he belongs to.

Because he truly is a beast at heart and she is his tamer. He worships her but never lets her forget his wild. Like a lion trapped in a zoo he will preform but he will not submit.

She provokes his crazy, because she is a sinner and he leaves her unforgiven when she tests his control. She is a fool to play with fire, even when it burns so intensely in his gaze.

But how can she resist when he plays her so well. This boy is a religion always on the edge of her thoughts, always watching and judging. So she devotes herself to time on her knees, and prays till the sunrise.

He comes down harder that the law, telling her of her mistakes, and reading her rights. He does not compromise and she would have it no other way.

She is a fool for sacrifice.
