Because people breathe because they run. And they run because they sweat. And they sweat because they wheeze. And they wheeze because that's damn better than nothing. Because hell can't catch her a break even for an hour. Because gaining her would be his biggest win yet.
He walks through the mangled stars waiting for her there. Waiting for her to decide she isn't strong enough.
Waiting for her to realize that her tear stained cheeks and plastered dried sweat was not worth trying to get through to the other side.
Waiting for her to realize that finding her happiness is not worth the agony.
Waiting to cheat her out of her contentment to drag her down to where her teeth can't even find one another again.
Blind her with hope to where she opens up and little by little he crawls inside and starts to consume her without notice.
She finds shelter in hell. Trying to cover her misery because she's too afraid to look up.
To recognize that adventure is out there.
Feeling like just another flame in his air.
Feeling the sting as the hot air passes through the cracks on top of her dry knuckles.
And he starts doing this when he is missing her.
Chews up the other victims and spits them in her face.
Smoking his many cigarettes and puts them out on her hair.
Hell has sucked her down. What he doesn't comprehend is that she is not just another one of his helpless victims.
She is a princess. With courage, bravery, and heart. Even though they are invisible sometimes.
They'll come out. And when they do, hell will be the one trembling.
Hmm.. what do ya know?
Suck it hell.
