you're in my veins
i don't think that even you fully understand the effect you have on people. you walk in and every head turns your way; eyes blazing, voice high: i'd follow you into war before you even thought to ask.

into war
and really, you can't blame me for falling in love under that sky; who wouldn't? the infinite grey, the angry blue the dark clouds that should have been an omen, but i was too blind to see anything apart from you, you, you laughing speaking being. and it's no wonder the greeks wrote of love and hate, of death and life, of madness within and without; who wouldn't have been consumed by the sky, the sea, the very earth beneath our feet in that place?

consumed
i write to hide away from the terrors of the world. i write to sink slowly into the terrors of my mind.
