There’s something about keeping wounds open that feels better than letting them heal. To have fallen so unexpectedly into the company of an alluring stranger. The all-consuming infatuation with those azure irises and their blinking benevolence. To yearn to hear his voice as he unravels words unto everyone but me. The kisses that have fallen at the feet of the pedestal he stands upon. To hear him speak of her with the same desire that I think of him. To watch those azure irises stray their attention to her golden braids. The silence as it becomes a knife that-- slowly-- kills me.
