Your Little Black Heart

by YellowGlue

liquid black and breaking in / Orphic circles and inborn need / no walls / just windows / nothing but us / nothing but Grim / there's no comparison for this / but it feels just like a promise / don't wake / don't stop / don't fall asleep / don't forget / don't come back / this isn't a game / this is your soul / ask me if you're ready

35. XXII

so that's what you dream about?

---

the dream of love

is a two-hearted dream

Bat for Lashes: Sleep Alone

XXII

I don't know if it was a dream.

Or maybe just parts of it.

I don't know if I'm still dreaming.

If any of it was ever my dream.

Or if it's always been his.

All I know is it's raining when I open my eyes in Grim's bed.

My knees hurt.

And he's gone.
