Far away and in between

She smiles so lovely as she makes two small cuts. One for your heart. One for herself. Dana leaves her mark.

You are a masterpiece. I made you with love.She says.Final tug of black thread. A pull threw the flesh .

Pricks of blood she wipes away. Pools of red on white.

She smiles again.

There.

She thought this would be the last time she would see you.

 

You lay in your bed.

Angela’s legs draped over your waist as her finger runs over the initials on your chest.

D.O.A.

What kind of person does this?

You smile and roll over her.

You just want to change the subject.

Angela smiles wickedly as you tug her hair.

Go home you say.

I don’t want to anymore.

Why?

You rub your chest.

You rub it again.

My heart isnt Mine.

Its hers.

You crawl back under the covers.

And fast asleep,You dream of an angel.

That traces your scars as you were on death’s door. That brings you back. Red swirling hair and a mouth full of teeth.

You Get out of bed.

You can not dream of her anymore.

You must find her.

Anywhere.Anyhow. After all. Your heart is not yours anymore.

SHe is etched on your heart. Forever.

You walk the streets. Jack daniels in hand. Tormented thoughts.

Deeply troubled thoughts.

You walk backwards. You smack into someone.

You turn around.

You gasp.

YOur angel. SHe looks down.at her things and then at you.

ANd she says only one thing.

You,I know you.

You smile and say.

I know you too.
