Never an angel
Never a goddess
but he prayed at my feet as if I were,
kisses red as stigmata wounds,
murmurs containing vows to my inner thighs
the litany on his lips hummed over and over was my name, imploring me to be his benevolent deity
Secretly we both knew he coveted the slow burn, like a moth to a flame
Stoking a cinder that barely flickers
Chanting eulogies to his sanity as it went up in flames
And I let him. Hells, I drove him to it
I all but gave him the map leading him to the center of this labyrinth inferno, where I’d lie in wait, tracking his progress with my gaze
Teeth bared in a wolfish smile,
Pupils blown out black as lust, enticing as a new moon, consumed with euphoria when he’d draw nearer to his little death and bring me to my own…
Sobbing into my chest and the crook of my neck, skin crashing like waves into my skin, bodies crashing like continents in a cataclysmic upheaval, reshaping the terrain of our worlds with each rush towards our unified desire, forcing, shifting, heated as volcanic magma flowing just under the surface, sweat pouring like rivers carving out pathways down, down, down… smashing lips, tongues, teeth, a taste of iron and copper, salt and water, the sting of a bite, blooming purple and red bruised petals on skin, where we claimed our territories. Then the roar of blood and passion and the release… of everything… how did I find this perfect man…
Two strong arms grasping every single inch of flesh they can find purchase of within their fingertips and palms, cradling me, reverently, rocking me, into and through and past our release… I have never been touched this way before or since…
For 8 years I slept so soundly, in those arms, nearly every single night. For 8 years he taught me to drink at his fountain, overflowing with so much adoration and love, and lust for me, for my body, for my heart, and soul. He took and took and took it, held it captive, he was the most careful thief. I never realized I was actually the one held hostage. He raised me up so high I didn’t realize it meant that it was that much further to fall, because surely, a love like this, would never fall, would never fail…
How long have I been without his worshipful presence…his eyes drifting over me, forcing me to accept his admiration of every part of me, even the parts I hated so much…
Gently taking my arms and holding them firmly at my sides, so he could SEE me, my beloved, never judging, ever worshipful…
Breath hitching, heart squeezing, bursting, chest ripping open with so much fucking LOVE for him, for him, for him, FOR HIM, FOR HIM, FOR HIM ALWAYS FOR HIM.
Still.
Still for him.
Him.
And they ask me, have you moved on?
Don’t you want to?
Aren’t you lonely?
Has the ground opened up and released my heart from its mortal coil? Has the sun set in the east?
Has the earth kissed the moon? Have the stars blinked out into a pitch black sky? Has anything ever gone the right way in my life? To any fruition? To any happy end? To any decent place?
I lash out or laugh bitterly when asked if my heart is healing, or why it will not be moved from its place of mourning him. He was my singular most devoted soulmate of my entire existence, the one who took it upon himself to devour any and all self doubt and replace it, while filling me, overflowing, again and again, with so much fucking LOVE.
Love that endures, even now, despite all the torture and trauma, rage and fear, heartache and loneliness, that his suicidal death has sunk like a knife, razor sharp and deeply, so deeply into my core. Leaving it there. Unable to remove it, lest I bleed to death. Removing it, removing him, is impossible as removing a vital organ such as my own heart. I wax poetic…
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) < 3
I love you 17 David.
Even now.
Especially now.
