Crimson lips, red eyes and thin lips.
-- Horns and black eyelids.
Although, it was very obvious that you were toxic.
I couldn't help but witness how the ends of your lips formed upward so beautifully when you smiled,
Or that the darker shades of everything brought out your eyes.
You went on and on about things that weren't normal at all but, I loved how your pupils widened and that sparkle lasted as long as our conversation on your interests did.
On the days your demons came to visit, I held you close and so tightly that my arms felt like they were being detached
And when you cried-- oh god, I would take on the world to make you stop.
You never asked me to leave and I never wanted to, I fought your monsters and I kissed your crimson shaded lips.
I tasted the flavor of every being that has betrayed you but on your lips-- you made them taste so sweet.
When I laid my ear on your chest, I heard no heart beat but I loved the roars of your insanity.
"Today was a good day." You would say as you attempt to cover up the markings of the innocent that lay on your body like tattoos.
I would only smile and hold your hand and I swear that I knew you were evil but your demons had always laid comfortably with mine.
You would always question what was mentally wrong with me for laying with a monster, and I would always question why you were so insane to believe that an innocent would actually lay with you.
You always laughed, and I seen the skin of nearly every human we crossed paths with that day in your teeth and the blood of children stained onto your tongue.
I never bothered to stop you and I suppose that was my karma
Because the day I showed you where my wings once were you hissed with frustration and left.
Were you expecting to take the life of an innocent or fear to fall in love with something that was rare to find in the darkness that you slept in?
