He breathes down my neck, sending tickles and shivers down my spine. My throat his hot and it burns with every passing second. A hot hand grips my wrist and yanks me into the dark. I can’t breathe. Through the black I can barely see him, but I hatch glimpses, glowing eyes, blood red lips, a head of curly tentacles. In the dark he holds me, I can’t wriggle free, I’m stuck in his embrace. Suddenly soft lips clash with mine. My heart faces as fear pedals softly across me. His warm breath is close to my ear and is followed by more kisses. All the while his eyes glow red and the air in my lungs is ripped from my body. My skin is colder than ice but my insides remain a hot mess. Hands I can not see grab at my hair, and my neck, and my hands. I can not see anything but the dark and his ashy eyes. I can not breath for he has sucked away my air. It’s terrifying.

Love. Makes you soar, makes you roar. Takes what it wants and leaves you bare.

Breaks you to pieces, claws at your mind, destroying mankind. Spoils your strength and wrecks your growth

You want it so badly, want it to work, but really, love’s a jerk. It’s a broken-hearted and despondent wish

Makes you bubbly on the inside. Finds your missing piece. Has you feel at peace. Gives you beauty and makes you whole.

Strips you of tears, awards with togetherness. Takes away the blindness, bringing forth the sun and stars to light your days.

Fills your holes with light and glee. The lock to your key. Love.
