Just a moment that popped into my head after watching Domino last night. Tell me what you think.
(I don't own these people, of course)
Sociopath messiah recovering from a miracle
She cleans his wounds while he runs a bloody hand through his hair
Just to keep it from tracing her form
-
Some rapid-fire question reaches her ears
Tentative, angry, pleading
She's stopped wondering what he's saying
-
Later, she cups the back of her head in her hands,
Watching the stars spin so slow, so slow
Like the view from the surface of a flipping coin
-
The pads of his fingers run along the dressings,
He looks to the skylight for a glimpse of simplicity
But finds her instead, hands crossed casually behind her head
-
Softly he asks her again
"Why do you torture me, huh?"
So? Tell me what you think, especially if there's a way I can improve. - J
