Cruel lover, did you know that when you raked your nails across my skin, they were searing my soul - every touch became a burning trail that lead to my heart, beating to the rhythm of your pulsating starlight?
Cruel lover, did you know that when you spoke my name you cast a curse, so that now when it is spoken, it leaves a taste of blood and ash, of love and loss, and sounds like the howling moonlight?
Cruel lover, did you know that when you reached for me as the darkness was calling for you, that your cries bound me to the forest filled with the shadows of your love, never letting me leave so you'd be able to always find me?
Cruel lover, tell me this - did you know your love would destroy? And if you did, why did you let me burn?
