I never thought that Lucifer would be so pretty. He has your hands, darling- pink and white: like roses in Russia, or else a scab that hasn't quite healed. His hair is hot as hell, which is unsurprising, honestly. He shuffles through the Moscow streets with reality peeled away from his eyelids. I don't think he sees me at all and yet I feel him, cold as the ice on which we tread towards each other. I wonder if he closed his eyes when he fell from heaven. You did, I know. You hate heights, or perhaps just the falling. Maybe that's why the love-thing never worked out.
