I should have stayed far away from you. I recognized the magic you were capable of. The gleam you put in my eye was a poisonous lie. Every night you held me could have been the last, if you only wished it. I remember your fingertips tracing my skin and my mind fills with spiders crawling over my flesh. My lips recall yours, sweet and warm, and my mind sinks to times I was sick with wine. Your strong embrace is now a prison in my head, entrapping me in your steel, hard arms. Every word you spoke lured me farther from my sanctuary out into the cruel open world. And you pounced.
