| ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** I dreamed you in a bed of flowers, bright and clean in white lace like I always knew you would be. Your fingers were delicate around the stem of a flower like they had been around me, and as I moved in for a closer look, your legs spread across the bent grass and invited me to stop by. But what I thought was the slight upturn of your lips turned out to be blood seeping from the corners of your mouth like sap from the branches hanging overhead, and you patted the ground next to you, the smile finally parting your lips to reveal coagulated slime between your porcelain teeth. Under a cloudless sky of sun rays, I sat next to you and traced the perfect rose heart of your mouth with my thumb, until you took my hand in yours, and soft and sweet with doe eyes of innocence, wrapped your tongue around my middle finger, sucking it into your mouth gently, the scent of iron polluting the air between us. Thick as syrup, the crimson dripped down my wrist in spidered trails against my pale skin. I dreamed you smiling there, beautiful as I always knew you would be, complementing the setting so perfectly. It was the pain bubbling just below the surface that I hadn't counted on. Watching it slowly spread down my arm, enveloping me as the grass clung to its sticky warmth and confirmed finally that we are one in the same. |
