I   Undeniable Bond

           His ever present smile upon his complexion smiled down on you. The moon shone allowing light to pass through the darkened room, illuminating the sliver of glittering metal lightly tracing the contours of your face.

            Saliva ran down your throat and a cool icy chill ran down your spine. You never could get used to being in such proximity. His arm was locked around your waist as he pressed you against his firm slim chest. Your heart was excruciatingly twisting within your breast, in pure anxiety rather than embarrassment.

            He tilted your head upwards with the end of his blade, frivolously marking a bold tint on your cheek, “Hmm? Why so quiet love?”

            You weren’t even fazed by the fact that you were wounded. You didn’t even utter a sound or breath; it was like a hand was forcefully encompassing around your throat and strangulating you. Your eyes were unfocused yet they were deeply scrutinizing the lurking darkness behind him.

            Releasing his hold, his palm strokes your cheek while, unconsciously you lean into the comfortable warmth that was offered to you. Your eyes half lidded in a haze and the contractions made origin from your chest slowed into a fitful state. However, it was a misfortunate mistake on your part.

            The movement was quick and nipped an unfathomable slice right above your shoulder blade, “You should answer a prince when he addresses you, sweet~”

            “Yes, of course,” Your voice crackled at the last syllable, “I apologize.”

            He dips his head. The tips of his straight blonde locks tickle your skin unintentionally and a wet appendage follows the trail of red staining your blouse. It traveled back whence it came; gliding athwart your neck and softly kisses the bloomed crimson flower he had previously placed on your flesh. You bit back the urges to voice your pain. You knew he would take it as a sign to continue his “ministrations”.

            “Ushishi~ what an obedient little pet you are.” He chuckles.

~ Something was dying inside of me, I didn't know what it was but it left me cold.

~ And she turned before she ran; it wasn't supposed to end like this.

~ If  I had any hopes left, I think he just crushed the last of them.

~ Promises are like combination locks, they're meant to be broken.

~ You keep telling the same lies over and over, I keep believeing in them time and time again.

~ There exists beauty in fragility. It's the reason why I hate beautiful things, they never last for long.

~ Fear is the thin line between courage and cowardice.

She waits for daylight to fade
Watching the clouds come rolling past
There's nothing left but night to see
I never understood why

She sits by the phone
Patiently listening for a sign
It's been silent for three days
I never understood why

She looks over to the clock
Fidgeting frequently from anxiety
It's still moving
I never understood why

She hides under covers
Drowning out the doubt
No one is coming
I never understood why

She went out at last
Breathing freedom out of binds
It was time to leave it behind
I finally understood why

She waits for daylight to fade
Watching the clouds come rolling past
There's nothing left but night to see
She was abandoned.
