Member-only story
I should have known better,
but the devil you know — is more disarming somehow.
I bit my lip as I blinked and missed how you managed to bite me twice.
My heart skipped as I slipped under the sheets —
and sunk into the fallacy of you and I.
My mind fogged and the world spun around me,
so drunk on lust — my stardust scattered.
I should have known better,
but knowing better when skin to skin — just didn’t seem to matter.
I couldn’t explain myself if I tried,
felled by another dirty dance after a fateful second glance
as your teeth devoured my flesh.
Do you think of me as just your love fool?
Was there any truth amongst your lies?
Did you ever want more than just my body?
Did it ever occur to you how much I mind?
You spit me out, you pulled me down —
now I don’t exist in your world,
I gave myself away and you gave nothing that I’ll ever need —
I know this all too well.
Seems there’s no mercy with forbidden fruit
since my tongue acquired the taste,
even rotten apples taste so sweet — served from the tip of your blade.
This kind of anguish is a hazard of loving,
whoever we love — we’ll mourn for.
Your knife twists inside my guts as each drop of my blood drains,
beyond this Earth my ghost will seek vengeance —
if murder is the case.
