love has left me scarred.
My only desire is to feel alive;
To briefly escape the darkness
that inhabits this empty abyss
where my heart used to reside.
Ragged breath echoing in my ears,
salt-stained skin beneath my lips,
fingertips burning fire within my veins.
No, I don't want love,
I will leave that for the fools.
- K.L. Dubay
