Fandom (of original text): Sherlock
Fandom (of erasure): N/A
Notes: Um, I slipped and made an erasure? I changed the capitalization, italics, occasional punctuation, and erased parts of words in an attempt to sort out the tenses.
Far too long a silence
shifting back further into the doorway,
past midnight and pissing rain.
Paper-white skin, heavy-lashed eyes,
and lips...lips like cherries.
In a sweat, the words come strangely
"I saw the way..."
He smiles the way vampires smile,
trying to hide their fangs.
Worse: something impossible. Something alien.
Blame it on homophobic panic.
Lips on naked skin, stretched red around his cock,
then recoiling from the sudden image of needle-sharp teeth,
"Are you all right?" and run, throat tight and burning.
Never answered the question.
How does he lie to himself?
Circling the scene like a vulture,
heedless to the rain.
Impossibly pale, wide mouth, attractive,
but only human.
