"what's happening to us?"
he grinned that evil, knowing smile that sent mechanical chills down her spine
desperate and naive, they had fled the familiarity of everything they ever knew
for that other life of glamour and greed they'd always wished they could have
passing out in their own bathroom, naked and content. their own crimson blood mixing together in tiny streams to soak the dingy tile floor
she could never do what they did alone
he didn't realize what he had become
it swallowed him in beyond the point of return
she kept him partially sane
he knew she did her best
she got scared, he reassured her
they could never go back
they could never leave the comfort it brought them
it was all theirs, but they were lost and alone
vacant and numb
it was all they felt
they knew they had everything, and nothing could keep them away
they lived for the emptiness until their black rainbow started to turn grey
bleeding and desolate, they couldn't turn back
passing out in the bathroom, broken and discarded
beautifully anonymous
Set yourself free
