That familiar copper-Esq scent invades my nostrils. On queue, my heart beats faster, my breathing shallow.
Small beads of sweat form on my brow, and I realize I am holding my breath.I breathe in and absentmindedly chew on the inside of my cheek. Ambient music swells around me as I breathe again. I hum along to the tune as I go back to concentrating. I recognize the lyrics and smile.
Trifonic’sLiescontinues into the chorus, and I listen with fevered intent.
You and I just can’t say goodbye. Every time we do, well it’s just another lie.
I know you’re no good for me. But every time I’m with you, there’s nowhere I’d rather be.
I let out a soft scoff. I close my eyes, letting the tones bathe me. As the song comes to a close, it is replaced by the soft sound of tearing skin. It is a sound that I’ve come to know so well. One that I’ve welcomed before.
And one that I desperately welcome now.
