blurb.

𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚,
It’s closing in on me when he finds me.
He’s the light at the end—
even if the glow comes from horns and not a halo.
I’d climb into his rib cage and stay there,
stoking the fire he claims doesn’t exist,
because I know what it’s like to be trapped
in a cottage made of bones.
I’m not worried.
He wouldn’t do anything to hurt me.
He belongs to me just as much.

☾

𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐧.
I pray to nothing and no one.
I’ve always been sin incarnate.
Wrapped up in thorns, always chasing blood;
the only thing that makes me see Heaven.
Until she falls back into our world
and I’m enraptured—it’s sickening.
She’s the only one who soothes the chaos.
I need her.
And I’ll burn down the whole damn valley for her,
in every lifetime.
We’re the same. She’ll see.
