���������I may have used him.
��
But he was beautiful to me-he was so sad, even when he wrote about his love and his suns and his stars. I saw a picture of him once-he was frowning, tired. But it was his eyes, the way his brow angled down across his eyelashes to his cheekbone, as if he were formed from birth to cry for his love. As if he knew me and only this made him grieve. He asked me to let go of what made me so angry and I think I nearly killed him.
I may have used him to dance with his sadness, to only kiss his angled brow and soften what made him die each day. Take a little of it for myself. Then he gave me too much, and it turned to fire. I think he nearly killed me.
�� We abused each other from the inside out--two little masochists trying to outwit the other. Two little arsonists with nothing else to do.
Screaming over violins-screaming in cathedrals, pushing against his hands that only gently asked for mine...I think I nearly killed myself.
��� When my lip bleeds from biting against my fire-when I wake up and suddenly realize that Im not as good of a person as I thought, I wish for his angled brow, his angel brow, over his brown eyes matching mine-to take some of his sadness to swallow mine.
��� Misery loves company.
�� �He may have loved me had he known I was only trying to steal his misery-maybe he loved it more.
I may have loved him more than mine.
