Believe
it or not, there was once a time when I was wary of sucking the
blood from your lips. It was so long ago, before I totally lost
myself to them. I remember back when I first saw your mouth, it
shone a brighter scarlet than any of the flamboyant cardinals
fluttering outside of my window. The intensity of your gums
burned my brown eyes so awfully that they turned the darkest
shade of midnight. I know that should have turned me away, but I
was hypnotized in a nanosecond. The only issue was that I feared
I may drain too much from your veins and accidently leave you
gasping for air. I had plummeted too far in love with you to
allow that to happen.
But soon I came
to learn that you liked the way your formerly white teeth stained
crimson, and how your skin lost it’s pigment entirely. And
I was more than honored that I had that effect on you. Upon the
onset of your approval I grew far too comfortable, and before I
could stop myself, I was so addicted to your body’s vital
fluid that I couldn't even stomach solid food anymore.
I'm afraid that all of my self control vanished when your
olivine eyes began to glow a glossy silver hue. The palms of your
hands could’ve been mistaken for ice and you often told me
that your bones felt uneasy, like static. But regardless of any
negative circumstances, you assured me that you adored the way
you could feel me suckling on your ribcage, despite the fact that
my lips were thoroughly attached to yours.
It all spiraled
up to the night that I nearly extracted all of your blood until
everywhere from your heart to your calves had been run dry. I can
recall the terrified expression in your eyes so vividly that
it’s as if I’m experiencing it all over again. That
day, I was forced to cut the rope binding my teeth to your
tongue, and shatter every last one of my bad habits. I realized
that I had taken over your body until neither of us could
identify ourselves anymore, and that was highly
detrimental.
