She slips closer under the billowing sheets of night.
I can always see the glass buried and uprooted in her ribcage. Glittering, it juts forward, inviting a slicing sensation of sanguine, sickening.
Her hands rest on my collarbone, light and hard, and slip sideways, over my shoulders, rounding to my back: Pain resides in the jagged innermosts of her fingerprints.
My fingers are in her barbwire hair when she pulls me into an embrace, and though my mind resists, I am drawn inside of her sensation.
Glass catches my skin, rips my vitals, and lets spill my life.
She is pain.

Love of pain seems creepy but the romantic way you tells it make it almost seem beautiful. Yet the title brings it back to an insidious habit. Masterfully done!

ReplyDeleteMy stomach feels like it was just ripped open. I guess that means you succeeded.
