I remember everything,
From your smell to your thought patterns.
How many times,
Have I found a perfect woman?
Something always goes awry.
Perhaps it is this blood curse.
A solemn reminder of loss.
You know what love is.
I know what love was.
Memories frozen in time.
I have said it before,
And I shall say it a thousand times.
This demisexual curse –
That I will always love everyone,
I’ve ever loved.
To my dying breaths.
Which ones took advantage of my loyalty?
The abuses of some.
How fucked up is it to love them even still?
Faith,
Faithlessness.
I was a puppy on a lead.
I am no fluffy,
Golden haired retriever.
Fae are more terrifying,
Than that.
May I have your name?
Your age?
Why did I not pluck more,
Than love –
And lust?
I should have exacted a toll.
Drank from their spirit,
Glutting on immortality.
Hah.
I couldn’t.
Honor dictates that I must shield them,
From harm.
Be their rock.
Haven across a thousand storms.
My fortress of self,
Opening at last.
Hallowed be thy kindnesses,
Sacred be our bond.
You have a harbinger of apocalypse,
At thy beck and call.
I will love you,
Until my final days.
Love, Eternal.
