i.
she loathed his presence;
like a bemoaned animal,
he was always on the peripheral
of her vision, crawling
along the line of her sight:

he was blank-faced, eternally
cold, unfeeling.
and she hated him for it.

still every time she went out,
chasing, cause the beating in
her chest was whispering
forbidden things [about
reciprocity
and love
and eternity].

she never caught anything
besides a cold,
which she named
after him,
since it blocked her airway,
and made her shiver,
and go from flaming hot
to freezing cold.

just like he did.



ii.
when she sat besides him she
held her breath, desperate to catch
up on his rhythm; the melody of
silence.

with every falling star she wished
he would wake up with crimson
streaming through his veins. but
she always kept in mind that those
stars were just as dead and cold
as he was. still they were capable
of shining were he didnt seem to be.



iii.
she didn't understand that,
despite the fact that it was as if
he was carved from stone or granite,
she would look at him
and could feel her heart in her throat.

from time to time she'd catch herself
with his thought in her head,
his droning voice playing in her ears
on repeat, like a favourite tune.

and it didn't make any sense;
no one's ever loved
a statue,
because no one likes to be
unrequited



iv.
his cold stone eyes turned out to
be meteorites; slamming craters
into her conscious and leaving her
on fire.

she found herself drunk in unknown
arms and concluded water nor alcohol
could stop the blaze. like no other
touch could fill the holes.
breathing flesh would never be enough,
craving as she was for the cold marble
of his arms.



v.
she asked if he would be her cold
stone moon, but he simply didnt
re[fl][ea]ct. and in the end she
looked at the polished grey of his
eyes and realized she was not the
only one lost.

maybe she couldnt live without him;
he never lived at all.
kinda long, but i promise it is good!

a collaboration with the lovely ~michi-iyo. you simply must go read some of her stuff. maybe all of it. time well spent.

hers is here: [link]

so hey, if you decide to comment/fave here, it'd mean a lot to go do it there too!
