how dare you breathe without me? how dare you walk this earth, so achingly beautiful, so untouchable, while i am left crawling in the dirt of your shadow? i want you — no, i need you. but need is too pale a word, too fragile for what this is. this is hunger that gnaws at my ribs, that sets my veins aflame. this is devotion turned violent, a prayer turned curse. i would die for you, but more than that, i would kill for you. do you hear me? i would destroy worlds for the chance to brush your skin with my trembling fingertips.
