    Apophasis

    The sky is dark

    she thinks she may have really been indestructible

    but the lunacy of the night is wearing off

    she can't really fly

    and might not be funny to be punched in the face

    but it would hurt less than vicious words

    his fingers inch towards hers

    "why are you still here?" he whispers

    "Why?"

    "You had every right to just walk away after what I said."

    "after what I almost did to you."

    His fingers graze hers.

    "Why are you still here?" he asks again.

    She turns to him and presses his fingers gently against the scar on his face

    he won't let her touch it.

    he has never let her touch it.

    "You told me not to leave and I was afraid to not stay." she whispers

    "because I told you not to leave."  he chuckles.

    He places his hand on top of hers and runs her fingers over his scar.

    She pretends to feel nothing.

    He chuckles again.

    "We are so dysfunctional" he says.

    She thinks that she is not indestructible.

    He is not indestructible.

    We are not indestructible.

    She almost smiles.

    "We should let your roommate back in. It's cold outside." she says.

    DOWP Apophasis @pallidpen

    It's yours, it's mine

    Cause I'll do anything and...

    I'll take the blame

    Baby, you're dying.
