and so reader…

as soon as love comes into play, 

you will become binded between the pages of their broken spine,

reciting their merciful screams as if singing from sheets of music paper

because when you love someone,

they bleed into your everyday life 

they become who you are,

what you stand for,

how you live.

the air you breathe will become intoxicated 

with a scent that's  a little too familiar, 

your skin will no longer belong to you,

but rather tattooed with their touched,

inked up your arms, 

your neck,

suffocating you back into the idea that you are alone and always will be 

so reader, 

as i'm here with you now on this page, 

i wish to warn you;

once you give yourself away,

you will begin to lose your self worth,

and become tangled between whispered lies

hiding behind the ghost of who you once were.
