NO RETURN.

❝ you occupy my thoughts. day and night, even in dreams you're there. i want you to never stop haunting me. ❞

❝ i am eternally yours. until the stars go out. and maybe, even after that. ❞

❝ my heart bleeds the color of your soul. i would cut it out and put it in your palms if i could. ❞

❝ it's like you have knit yourself around my ribs. i could no more cut you out than i could remove my own lungs. ❞

❝ you are woven into my soul and i dare not cut a single thread. ❞

❝ i am yours, body and soul, to do with as you wish. ❞

❝ i don't require you to love me back, or to care for me as i do you. only let me be here, let me devote myself to you. that would be enough. ❞

❝ i want to trap your smile in a bottle and take it out when no one else can see. ❞

❝ you belong to me and i to you. ❞

❝ do not look away from me. i cannot bear it when i do not occupy your vision. ❞

❝ i will follow you. to the ends of the earth, to the very gates of hades and whatever might lay beyond. ❞

❝ i will always be here. no matter how far you go you can always come home to me. ❞

❝ tell me all the places you have been hurt, every rejection, every scar. let me love you in all the places where you have burned. ❞

❝ i will not ever let you go. ❞

❝ you cannot escape this. you cannot run away from the love we share. ❞

❝ what we have is deeper than words could capture. ❞

❝ i will be anything you desire. i pluck out the parts of me you find distasteful and stuff your love in the craters left behind. ❞

❝ tell me what you wish of me and i will do it. ❞

❝ i could spend all day merely watching the air in your lung. i would count every blink. i would cherish every sigh from your lips. i could watch you merely exist for the rest of my life. ❞

❝ don't let go of me. i think if you lost me i would die. ❞

❝ i will cut out the tongues of every man who has wronged you. ❞

❝ i wish i could crawl inside you and make a home out of the hollows of your bones. ❞

 ‘  i  don’t  need  the  metaphors ,   lottie .   it’s  my  time . ’   she’s  been  waiting  for  this  day .   oh ,    how  she  craves  what  she’s  owed :    the  crown .   the  respect ,    the  honor  she’s  earned  after  so  much  bloodletting  &  so  many  sacrifices .   deep  brown  eyes  follow  lottie’s  touch ,   a  spark  of  possessiveness  lighting  when  slender  fingers  meet  the  smooth ,   worn  bone .   she  bites  her  tongue ,   refrains  from  scolding  the  other  into  withdrawing .   the  crown  may  be  shauna’s  now ,   but  it’s  not  hers  alone .   @proph5t &  the  wilderness  always  belonged  to  one  another  in  a  way  beyond  most  comprehension ,   but  it’s  not  the  wilderness  shauna  hungers  for .  

shauna  can  feel  it ,   an  ache  deep  in  her  gut  as  she  hears  the  others  whispering .   the  concerns ,   the  discomfort ,   the  desperation  to  leave  warring  with  the  knowledge  that  wiskayok  has  left  them  for  dead .   the  distrust  sown  amongst  themselves as  the realization  sinks  in :   when  held  up  against  the  light ,   some  of  them  will  become  transparent ,   their darkest  corners  &  secrets  exposed  with  no  hope  to  cover  them .   the  real  world  means  questions  with  difficult ,   bloody  answers ,   ones  the  girls  simply  aren’t  ready  for .   answers  shauna  can  provide ,   if  they  only  listen .

and  listen  they  will ,    because  they’re  staying .   tonight ,   when  the  antler  crown  stands  proudly  upon  red - tinted  hair  &  the  world  is  viewed  through  a  veil ,   it’s  shauna’s  leadership  that  will  bring  the  team  peace  &  purpose .    it’s  shauna  who  will  give  them  a  feast .   despite  this ,   she  can’t  keep  the  hint  of  sourness  from  her  expression  at  lottie’s  statement .   it  admires  you .   a  lot  of  fucking  help  that’s  been .   instead ,   eyes  meet  the  other’s  without  flinching ,   practically  boring  holes  through  her  skull .   ‘  and  you ,   lottie ?  ’   shauna  asks ,   her  voice  low  but  tinted  with  curiosity .   ‘  do  you  admire  me ?  ’

            ❛            admiration .. isn't the right word.            ❜          i prepared myself for the flare of emotion on shauna's face after i spoke , knowing her moods swung wildly like a pendulum. anger , rage , passion , jealousy , frustration , lust , grief. but i moved forward regardless , carefully setting the antler crown in front of shauna as i stepped around the other girl to stand behind her. my breath was hot compared to the cold , prickling against the chosen queen's neck , smoothing my fingers along the ends of her tresses to twist them into a hair tie & synch them at her nape. my breathing caught again , & for a heartbeat my lips brushed against the ridge at the top of her spine.

❛ i would let you rip me apart if it meant loving you. ❜

❛ this fear you feel? it won’t last. ❜

❛ you are my salvation. ❜

❛ i revolt you, don’t i? ❜

❛ get the hell away from me. ❜

❛ i want to sink my teeth into every inch of you. ❜

❛ i’ll be your dirty little secret, if that’s what you’re into. ❜

❛ worship me. until i tell you to stop. ❜

❛ don’t you know how sick with love i am for you? ❜

❛ fucking hit me already. ❜

❛ i would burn the world for you. ❜

❛ i don’t want to be good, no matter how hard you wish it. ❜

❛ i don’t know how you’ve bewitched me, but it needs to stop. ❜

❛ fix me. ❜

❛ they die for love, you kill for it. ❜

❛ you are mine, whether you agree or not. ❜

❛ do you like it when i bleed for you? ❜

❛ i will keep hurting. i will keep killing. anything to protect you. ❜

❛ i’m starved for you, morning and night. ❜

❛ now i get to ravish you. ❜

❛ i am your god and your executioner. ❜

❛ you are doing so well, my pet. ❜

❛ you’re my sweetest poison. ❜

❛ let’s do something about that mouth of yours. ❜

❛ your fascination with me will be your death. ❜

❛ you’re the monster that’s enticed me into your bed. ❜

❛ all you can say are pretty lies. ❜

❛ the fucked up thing is that it isn’t enough to just love you. ❜

❛ you’ve broken me. all i can think about is you. ❜

❛ you’ll beg for more. ❜

❛ an eternity with you would never satisfy me. ❜

❛ i would gladly let you drag me to hell. ❜

❛ everything i’ve done.. every horrible atrocity, it’s been for you. ❜

❛ you’re a fucking nightmare. kiss me. ❜

❛ feel grateful that i allow you to touch me. ❜

❛ every time your lips touch my skin, you burn me from the inside out. ❜

❛ there’s no black or white, only gray. ❜

❛ no one touches what’s mine. ❜

❛ make me indifferent, make me horrible. ❜

❛ i could never be the one to love you. i can only be the one that kills you. ❜
