*the winters here in montauk had frozen me i am now brittle bones blood on my lips lilac veins vivid on my skin silvery i can no longer count all these dead nights for my fingertips have grown a little numb the exact way the crystal stem of the limpid glass between yours can never grasp your heat the very way that sinful scarlet liquid bead perch on your full crimson lips unaware of its good fortune precisely the way that beauty on the other end of the table veiled burnt sienna will cravingly gaze into your worried eyes but only one of two hearts will glow the other will remain mundane and mine will always yearn*

"i’m more and more afraid because i’m not like myself before. i’m scared to see myself getting weaker. without you, even the air around me is heavy." (edited. thanks for the input! ♡)
