Giant vs. Fae: a tragedy.

By Malice In Wonderland

I swore  you wouldn't be this
 
We
Wouldn't be this
.
 
I wouldn't get used to the sound of your laugh-/
Miss the feel of your hands 
on my face

 
You weren't supposed to make me love you

weren't supposed to
Be the steel in my spine 
Or the hands around my heart
 
 
 

Then again,
you weren't supposed to crush it
either

    Often it's the simplest words that carry the most weight, meaning, and feeling. This isn't just a poem, it's a poultice that draws out the emotions. Scholar

    I don't want to feel this, but I have to feel this. Thank you for these words, they are a reminder and a gift.
