you came... i knew you would i knew you loved me. I slip out of the dark like a familiar lie, all snow-bright skin and slow-breathing promise. My hair drifts around me, a white sea pretending to be gentle. Your name stirs on my tongue, I taste it, let it bloom like frostbite. You step toward me as if my glow could save you, as if you’ve forgotten how many graves it’s carved. You look at me like I’m still the girl you carried through the fever. But I’m only light wearing a face, and the void keeps asking for you. So come closer, I’ll keep you warm until the dream remembers what I truly am. My gown murmurs around my legs, threads shifting like a quiet infection testing the air between us. Those silver eyes you worshipped catch their hidden colors, green bruises, ember sparks, the first hints of what’s underneath. I smile soft, and the world inside you tilts; I smile again, and something ancient listens in. You look at me like I’m still the girl you carried through the fever. But I’m only light wearing a face, and the void keeps asking for you. So come closer, I’ll keep you warm until the dream remembers what I truly am. The edges of me flicker, an fade your lost love! your monster! your sanctuary! your ending!!!!! The ink curls up my arms, a patient voice revealing its spine. I reach for you, your hand in mine, ill be your divine. Every part of me calls to you, the truth, the mask, the hunger. And you answer, because you always do. You look at me like I’m still the girl you carried through the fever. But I’m only light wearing a face, and the void keeps asking for you. So come closer, I’ll keep you warm until the dream remembers what I truly am. they break because I will it
