I. It's fire
is all
it's distractions
it's take what you can
(before it's too late?)
It's the (taste)
of
sin
of blood
of sweet melodies with underlying tones
II. He's unchanged
(not that anyone knows it)
she says that
the years have been
unkind
(but all they've done
is
pass)
It's the mask that's (come off)
faded
to pale tones
and dark eyes
and everything
that's been there right from the beginning.
III. such a crude language
crude words
crude blood
six stages
sick minds
in perfect correlation
alpha
beta
delta
IV. Me dire qui vous
aimez
et je vous dirai qui
vous ĂȘtes,
my love,
because we define each
other
(so much so that we're
hardly
alive
hardly in
life)
V. Born to
kiss and (kill?)
Never tell
always secrets
always wishing
always wanting what you
can have
but won't take

A/N: Thanks to Eve (xxeviexx) for the beta, this girl is basically the cheese to my macaroni. Go check out her amazing stories, now.
Umm. What else? I like II the most, probably because it was the first character exploration that I did after theorizing that maybe Sweeney Todd isn't a new person, but just someone that was hidden. If you watch House, you'll see the resemblance to the character James Wilson (he's portrayed as sweet, gentle, and caring, but appears to have an underlying person - he's persistently flirty, somewhat vain, and has been married three times). So tell me what you think about the idea.
And I promise I'll get that Ben/Sweeney piece done soon, the idea continues to fascinate me.
OH. The French in stanza four translates to "Tell me whom you love and I'll tell you who you are." It's my absolute second favorite quote ever.
And I like how my author notes are always longer than the fic. Does anyone actually read this far? I actually occasionally say something useful . . .
