an excerpt from my fictional work ;) - working on a song of the same title
"Hmm?"
"Thank you."
It was so easy with him. Because she already knew. Before she ever looked in his eyes..Before breath. It had been written in the stars; upon their hearts.
So when he leaned towards her, outside the bathroom door, she didn't flinch. Her breath did not catch. Her heart did not skip a beat. She did not second guess her instincts; wonder if she was reading him right..if he could be trusted...if he meant it..what he did. Her belly did not roll. Nothing in her trembled. She was not afraid.
He kissed her brow in that same spot, that very same spot, and everything began to slip away: her last defenses against the exhaustion, fear; tears.
A thousand dams broke on the precipice of exhale.
He led her to the inner chamber and tub. Left her to the waters he'd prepared...he couldn't help but linger beyond the outer doors listening to her cathartic moans as the warm water seeped into her every place. Every molecule. It loved her. And where it found purchase the black waters; the tainted blood did not have space to stay. They drained away. It all drained away..what had been done to her. Collecting in a heavy black puddle, beneath her, at the bottom. Until she unstopped the tub and it all drained away. They drained away.
