As the Light Left
"With only the aching of my heart and the certain heat of fire to urge me on, I seek the truth that lies somewhere between fate and free will." - Unknown
This is not a love story, nor a happy ending. This is a descent into grief and a question of survival.
The Other Terror
I killed you and I killed me too in that moment on the edge. It was the fear that held me back. Or did it drive me forward? The rage flooded through my veins and the illusion of control was broken. Was it ever my choice to make?
Sand Tiger
I watched every moment fall through my fingers, but only noticed the weight when it was down to the last grains. I felt so light I could float up and away, carried on the jaded breeze. Only your gravity brought me back down.
Callous
It was here in the grey that I knew you weren't the hope I should cling to. We were dragging each other through this oblivion like stags locked in a perpetual struggle. Only one of us could survive.
Night Mother
Trust takes years to build and moments to break, yet I continue to sift through the rubble looking for pieces of truth. I held onto you so tightly I stopped using my own eyes to see. I would have burned in a fire for you.
Dark Legacy
We were like one, melded flesh-to-flesh. Everything you were and everything you wanted seeped into my very being and consumed all of me. Was I leading the way or were you?
Undone
As I cut into the sinews connecting us, it was the pain in my chest that hurt the most. Our shared wound was exposed to the elements and I wondered which part housed the regret.
All-Consuming
By the time I recognized the stench, parts of my body were too far gone in the mouth of rot. It wasn't just from the wound - it was eating me through and through from within my core.
Alien Skin
The delirium washed over me like a second skin, blanketing me with a sense of fear I had not felt before. With it came a film over my eyes to blind me and plunge me into darkness without end.
Dreamweaver
When the darkness spoke to me for the first time, I asked if it was friend or foe. It did not answer, instead whispering my secrets back to me in a dance around my ears.
Iridescent Wings
The darkness led me over the edge where I found you again. This time it was you who clung and begged for safety. But you had already taken too much of me and I didn't have the strength to hold us both.
Opulence
I had to choose. Or was it fate that brought us here?
