t-h-a-l-i-a g-r-a-c-e

your name is carved into his arm, and

l-u-k-e c-a-s-t-e-l-l-a-n

his name is carved into your arm.

when you meet for the first time, the marks

b*u*r*n.

you both pretend not to notice, pretend that you can't see the way

that you look at each other.

but it's just pretending.

you tell yourself it's just pretending.

but the truth is that it's

REAL

and then you meet

a/n/n/a/b/e/t/h

and it's so easy now to believe

that you're a family

mommy+daddy

what does that equal?

parents

parents are usually in love

(can you really deny it now?)

and then it's almost the end

no more running

a.w.a.y

from life

at least,

you think so

until there's a monster

h#a#u#n#t#i#n#g

you

h&u&n&t&i&n&g

you

and you're safe

you think you are

until thalia says that you need to just

'run'

and you say that you need to just

'stay'

but she doesn't take no for an answer

and then she's

g!o!n!e

and you heart aches

and your soul aches

and your marks ache

and you spend the next couple of

y\e\a\r\s

just

d_r_o_w_n_i_n_g

in the memories of her

you think that you're stuck

going under

until you're saved

by a

blackblackblack

darkdarkdark

evil monster

you give in to it

tell yourself to

f^o^r^g^e^t

her

but you can't

and then the years have passed

you're evil now

and you've almost forgotten

about the blue of her eyes

how her hair was midnight

until you're on a mountain

holding up the sky

and you see her again

you want to scream

hug her

kiss her

but she

h:a:t:e:s

you

and so you look into her eyes

the

b l u e

ones

you tell her that you love her

and she?

she shows you that she doesn't

and then

t-h-a-l-i-a g-r-a-c-e

and

l-u-k-e c-a-s-t-e-l-l-a-n

disappear
