blue whale / dive in deep

luminous and trembling, he walks like the soles of his feet are made of moonlight, he fucks you like he's trying to tell you something, he shakes and shudders like he sees something you don't, he is everything all at once, fragile and overwhelming, a dive without air, he wraps you up and doesn't let go until he burns alive, he dissolves in your veins like surgical thread, he fuck, he god, he could build on this for hours and still be ready to swallow you down, he cant fucking breathe without touching you, he lets the sun bruise his back a thousand different shades of pink and still comes back for more, he calls you when his voice is crackling with exhaustion and sticky with hunger, he lets you sleep inside his ribcage because that's how he keeps you warm, he shivers in the dark and wont let you take care of him, he tells you you're some precious pretty thing as he veers into a ditch, he needs seventeen stitches and a transplant with a name you can't remember, he always shatters on impact
