Do you love me? Do you love me? A dark chuckle fell from his bubblegum lips Yet somehow the butterflies in her stomach went crazy All she had done to prompt this was ask him one question, The minuscule and simple words of which still tiptoed through her mind: Do you love me? Do you love me? She felt like saying please, but she didn’t know what she was begging him to do Maybe she was only asking herself to erase the words still slithering like a garter in a garden It was like she was begging herself and him not to let this be painful But she knew in her heart that his darkness was seeping out like he was going to hurt her Do you love me? Do you love me?
