This Is Love
(Alias) Kodukadvakch
I smell it; your fear. It amuses me, entertains me…excites me. Obsession. That life-giving blood you take for granted. I need it - need you - and no matter how much you scream - no matter how much you yell and thrash and fight - I will have what I want. You please me; your voice, so high and shrill - so filled with pain. This is love.
To eat, to drink. To blend together a pain so unspeakable, an emptiness so final. This is my life. It is who I am, love, and there is nothing I can do to change it. So I drag you down into the darkness which engulfs my soul. Do you feel it now? The coldness. The emptiness. We are together. I am always by your side. You are the beauty, and I the beast. I will never let you go, darling. This is love.
Sweet, like honey. Your blood smells of roses; tastes of redemption. Come closer, love. Let me breathe in your fears as I trap you in my cold embrace. Let me kiss your tears, if but to taste heaven in their salty tracks. My life, my love, my saving grace. Scream with all you are; it is music to my ears. Your melody sounds now, and I laugh with good-natured mirth. This is love.
No, no, no, sweet child. Do not pull away. Tremble, and cry, and fear all I do to you; but do not leave me. Do not abandon me to the endless darkness tickling the edges of my vision. Do not cut the strings of my sanity with your departure. I need you, sweet. I need your blood, your breath, your soul. Forgiveness is my illusion, as safety is yours. I will not let you go. This is love.
Death. Immortality. We are opposites, come together by fatal attraction. I, by your safety; you, by my danger… I, by your heaven; you, by my hell. Love me, darling. Love me as you scream; as you yell and thrash and fight. For I will not let you go. You will never be abandoned. You are my life, my death, and my being. My soul was lost. My life was dead. You cannot escape it…cannot escape me. You are my obsession, my reason for being. And darling, no matter how much you may deny it, this is love.
