My Love Affair

For a whole year straight she captivated me, always keeping a grip just tight enough to softly, sweetly pull me back. every. time.

At first, we only flirted innocently. Exchanging glances. A little peck hear and there.

Soon, though, it began to escalade. Our moments together became more heated, more intense. I could smell the passion. This was no game anymore.

Little by little, she began to tip the scale, away from the light and into my head. She had a hold on me like no other.

As the white nights wore on, she mesmerized me with the sweet nothings she whispered into my veins.

One night, she tried to kill me... send me to hell...
She started with my heart, clenching my veins tighter and tighter. I was short of breath, struggling to work my lungs. My arms and legs may as well have not been there. My face became cold and numb as the light began to fade. Here comes the blackness, I thought, that eternal room... shivers ran down my spine... I felt as though I had been plunged into antarctic waters with cement boots. Then, she finally set me free, a trembling puddle of blood and tears, lying on my bedroom floor.

But I will always love her.
