"i think we deserve

a soft epilogue, my love.

we are good people, and

we've suffered enough."

after the ashes rise,

ill fall to pits of my despair.

what we once felt,

is no longer there.

we are toxic, unresponsive

way beyond repair

drift your thoughts back to before:

it was freezing, winter season,

i knew you, you say, voice rough and hoarse.

we were at peace, let life take it's course.

but it lead us here: to depths so deep.

i am tired, i have tried by i cannot sleep.

i am haunted by what we used to be.

come with me, i whisper.

it is late, and my words

i cannot remember.

but i feel your breath,

warm against my hand.

ill take you away,

from this wretched land.

it's all or nothing, it's us or nothing.

do you feel it too?

let's sink into the ocean, deeper, deeper, deeper.

clutch onto my hand, or they'll find you dead.

stick with me, my love.

till the end.

This is how you lose him. Not by a joke

gone too far, or by a dagger piercing his

thin frame, or someone else capturing

his heart. No, nothing of the sort.

Nothing, but a kiss. A kiss, of all things.

How hard to believe, that a kiss would

be all it took, for the world to shatter,

burn, crumble beneath your feet! If you

had known this, maybe you wouldn't

have taken every punch, every shove,

every mind controlling pill for 70 years.

Everything you didn't deserve ────

everything that he deserves. But oh,

he doesn't. Your angel boy: halo and all,

he pulls away, eyebrows furrowed in pure

confusion. How could he deserve anything

like that? How foolish, to think you could've

kept something so good; so pure, without it

wilting, shattering, dying in your grasp! How

foolish.

──── love doesn't exist for monsters like you.
