Often. “You make me feel so alive that it drives me to kill. Not out of wrath but out of envy for others taking the precious and vital breath meant only for us,” he whispered, his stubble grazing mine. I gasped as his lips claimed mine. “So you see, you should fuck me so I don’t go out and make a mess.” Trove said things like that. “There’s a problem with that,” I countered. And meant it. “What problem?” His words frowned...

The smoke swirled up into the air as the two women stood on the balcony of the penthouse, where the wake was being held. “He was quiet when he fucked you. Right to the end. And then he…” “Made a soft adorable moan in your ear, right when he came.” “Yeah.” “And sometimes, he drooled a little bit and his body shook.” “If he came hard, yeah. But always so quiet, I could barely hear him breathing or anything.” “Yes. I sometim...

It wouldn’t be long now. She knew. She made sure to sit up as much as she could. She tried so, so hard to walk and, with a stick, could make it to the nurse’s station. But, sometimes, she could not even eat solid food and had to be fed on a drip. Two years of sickness had left Ester little more than a bag of skin and bones. When she was first diagnosed, she’d dreamed of what might have been. Of passionate love affairs on...

Last thing I heard was the train’s whistle, shrill. The last thing I smelled was the smoke. Flushed and furrowed. She wore that dress again. Spun silk, hiding her. More hidden than when we met. More to hide. She writhes.  Rise and fall. Chest supple, burning. I’ve held her like a flower in my hand, and bled. To pluck her once, and watch her wilt. It was meant to make an end— And now? The stains I left. And scars. All hidd...

How can I miss you when you aren’t mine to miss. A song brings back every memory of you.  The feel of your hand, running through my hair, The way your lips felt against mine As you devoured me Memories flood my mind, I can see you standing there Holding my hand, like it was meant to be We should have known better, Perhaps, we are just star crossed lovers Soul mates, maybe This lifetime just isn’t ours Could it be, the tim...

Waking up at midnight, I feel you Warm body curls up against me Soft arms wrap around my chest Firm thighs mingling closely at my knee Opening my eyes, I see you Long hair spread on the pillow Biting lips in your dreams Sound sleep like a naïve angel Tender smile on my face, I stare at you So hard to believe such a sweet innocent girl Was the same wild vixen just a few hours agoGently my sight runs through you Dark silky...

For we’ve grown apart I guess that’s the test of time I reminisce over the days From when I was yours and you were mine Though it’s been a while Since I’ve seen your face The memories remain From when we made our hearts race We made lofty promises Many of which we did not keep We made plenty of mistakes The consequences were ours to reap Now that we’ve grown apart And our relationship ran its course Gone are the days When...

To all of those out there who want something they know they will never be able to have.... Alone and cold I sit here in my bathtub while the rest of the world sleeps This tiny bathroom is my solace My refuge. My escape A low burning candle of sandalwood fills the air with a fragrant heavy musk The low droning noise of a sad and simple song fades to silence in the background The water has grown cold ages ago, although I fa...
