Fiendish Innocence

Wrapped in your arms

head upon your chest

listening to your heart

a steady beat

beneath my head.

Slow breath in.

Slow breath out.

Your hand gently caresses.

I move

wriggling to get closer

wanting

needing

to feel your warmth.

Thaw my soul

release this heart of mine

from the iced web I carved.

A cavern of fallen stars

pinpricks of death

curses to all

who try to make me feel.

Serenade me

play love songs

make me weep

promise to me

you will always keep.

I see your lips move.

I hear the words you say.

Similar vows

always made

oaths to keep me safe

to keep me sane

to stave off

my desire

my thirst

my wretched need for revenge.
