' dont be what they made you. '
` i’m not . ‘ reply slips easy from sweet lips ( the wolf waits not a second more , for his prey : the rabbit dangles from his bloody maw / vile in the way he devours the carcass / putrid odor singes within nostrils / he hungers for more , naught is his appetite for flesh / perhaps , then , it is the thrill of the hunt / he chases what he cannot obtain enough of / something intangible / thus , he devours what he can / pity is this fool’s fate ) , defensiveness upon gentle features , hand moves in a feeble attempt to bat away the words of the other : you are not what they made you. ( you are : the rabbit / wolf’s canines dig into your ribs / you drown in your own blood / you cannot escape what has been done to you / &. so you succumb. ) tears well up , &. nails dig into flesh of his own palm , there is a certain tremor hidden ‘neath kind voice , a whelp crying for help , vulnerability be a necklace donned ‘round his neck , heart locket beats over fabric of a worn jacket , he is : but a man , withered , remorseful. ` i … i’m not. i will never be what they did to me -- i am more -- i -- i’m not -- ‘
don’t. accepting. @witchories

‘ imagine being useless ’
❝ * y’know , i got a pretty fuckin’ creative mind. GOD must fuckin’ love me so much t’ give me one ! ❞ acerbity takes its grasp ‘pon your tone , perhaps too harsh in your reply , serpent’s tongue quicker than your mind. fingers tighten ‘round drink in your grasp , another swig , the THWACK of glass ‘gainst wood echoes harshly , you recoil at your own repulsive anger , how GOD mocks you so up in the HEAVENS !
( you are : suffering / you are a storm within / DARK ACHING FOR SUN / you were but a BOY , you were but an innocent boy. all you wanted was love , all you needed was acceptance ! you were but a BOY , you were but an innocent boy , aimless , searching , how you wanted to touch the sun , to reach it , you are ICARUS , all you wanted was warmth &. home &. all you EVER FUCKING GOT was aimless wandering / how acquainted you were with the cold &. giving up &. you buried &. buried &. buried your own corpse of a purpose by FAUX REASONS FOR YOUR EXISTENCE , isn’t it so fucking funny that all your effort was in vain ? )
PROMPT: IMAGINE FEELING USELESS --- A. THAT’S ALL YOU’VE EVER FELT. THAT’S ALL YOU’VE EVER FUCKING FELT. &. cacophonous laughter leaves , how uncharacteristic of you , yet you hide your tears in a swig of alcohol , you allow empty husk to fill with warmth — it’s temporary , but it’ll do , it never really lasted. perhaps your use was to show the world what emptiness felt like. you do a damn good job of it. ❝ * my imagination is damn near impeccable. i’m sure i can imagine it pretty fucking clear. ❞
prompt. accepting.

“ your past is never truly the past ”
❝ * no. ❞ UNDO THY SHACKLES , FIEND ! / RESPITE be upon us , temptation of inattention dangles in front of predatory maw , jaws dare not seize thy flesh of temptation , instead turn the other way. you remember : blood , putrid smell , hymns of foreboding &. doom that filled your lungs a long time ago , that smoke of CULT burned deep within your clean lungs ; is that why you smoke ? it is hard to forget , nay , you , once dead walking , cursed with memory , blade digs into thy wound , sharp knife tastes your blood , and you still do not know if you are the one holding the knife , STOP ! no , but the past is part of you , dear boy , may turn your head the other way , but you , the prey , apex predator jaws tighten ‘pon jugular.
( you cannot breathe. you choke on your blood. you cannot forget. you will not forget what they did to you. )
❝ * the past can never be left in the past. it’s . . . awful , the gift of memory , isn’t it ? you try &. try to forget , but . . . it will come back. ❞

touches his arm...
curiosity adorns otherwise neutral expression , prying eyes bore into hand that was placed upon bicep. underneath hand was a plethora of ink , roses mainly , among other things – garden beneath deputy’s hand , intricate design traceable , temptingly so , though this had not been the first time that another scabrous palms kissed soft flesh of his , &. by now , he had not particularly minded. smile creeps onto soft features , playfulness plays within his tone. ( you’re in uncharted waters , it’s best that you act with caution. ) ❝ * evening , sheriff. do you always touch people’s arms ? teasin’ you , of course , i don’t mind – they’re kinda neat , aren’t they ? ❞

‘ you can hate me forever if that’s what you really want ’ maybe something.. relating to how tina and bruce don't really like each other ( an understatement sdhf) and so maybe clay knows of him through tina.. owo
❝ * i don’t hate you. ❞ apprehension cross your features , comes and goes as the sun does , &. if one looked closely , indignation would fit like a glove ‘pon your face. hand runs through thick curls , sigh pushed past lips , scrupulous in finding correct words to say. no , no hatred nor ill will harbored in your heart , confusion be a better fit. you remember vividly : story SHE so vibrantly told — corruption , greed laced within , perhaps --- painted pictures with verbiage of blood , of justice , yes , you listened intently , drink in the water of every word that fell from divine mouth , but you know it is not your place to take a stance ‘tween cat &. mouse game splayed out between them — it is not your place. ❝ * that’s not my place. it would feel wrong to hate you &. partake in a situation that doesn’t really involve me … however , you really do confuse me , mister BRUCE — have you ever considered bein’ more cautious about the company you choose to be around ? this really could have been avoided if you did. ❞

"i know what it feels like-- to come back."
* YOUR MEMORY IS CRYSTAL CLEAR. memory crawls upon your skin like BUGS / revolting / scampering , it is a phantom feeling , the way the memory plagues you . it was freeing / liberating / it was a feeling that you could never quite place your finger on , but the flooding of air into your dust-lined lungs , you remember drowning in it / YOU WERE A LOST SHIP AT SEA / YOU WRECKED , G-D , HOW YOU WRECKED / &. �� your fingers falter over where your heart lies , you pick &. pick &. pick at the threads there , oh , how absolutely ALIVE you felt , covered in blood &. clay , you never felt BETTER --- &. gaze soft , you UNDERSTAND , THEY understand how IT FEELS ! --- offer a kind smile , nervous laugh ( WHY ARE YOU NERVOUS ? YOUR VOICE TREMBLES , &. PERHAPS , THE MEMORY STILL LIES FIRM &. ROUGH WITHIN YOUR MIND . ) ; ❛❛ IT’S TERRIFYING , RIGHT ? but it’s . . . freeing at the same time --- it’s like a second chance at things . or maybe you’re just . . . reborn as someone . . . entirely different . i still haven’t really figured out which one it is . --- for me , at least . ❜❜

‘ you don’t have to be anyone’s hero. ’
` but what about the kids who were like me ? ‘ question is posed in neither malice nor retaliation , instead : curiosity. eyes shift , then , from the ground to the woman ( for there is : a fire behind kind eyes , flames ember , tastes delicate flesh , &. flames lap hungrily as the fire is fueled / bark is added , &. you know it’s dangerous to play with fire , however , you calculate risks involved , yet you persist. you shall remain unmoved. ) , ‘ what about them ? ‘ tension thickens , thick as tar , sticks greedily to humid air , “ hero” , nay , guardian , he is : protective , dangerously so. ( you cannot save everyone / but i can try. ) ` i never had a hero growing up. kids who were like me -- they need someone , anyone -- i have to try. even if it means risking my own well being. ‘

‘ don’t say that. ’
❝ * my … apologies. i usually don’t . . . say things like that. out of character , if you will . . . ❞ words slip from downward -- curved lips , morose voice cuts through thickness of the twilight , &. if one were to look closely , vulnerability betides upon his posture ; digits curl around the hem of his shirt ( you’re afraid , who’s your predator ? what must you run from , wolf , for what lies within your own den ? ) , he dares not a single glance into her eyes , for if what they say is true about the eyes being windows to the soul , what would she see ? ( A: A MONSTER OF A MAN. ) &. what is a man in the eyes of GOD ? is he worthy of more ? what status must he hold with what he has undergone ?
( A: NOTHING MORE THAN A WORM. ) ❝ * i just . . . i can’t get away from everything that’s happened -- i know the past stays with you , but . . . it’s -- it shouldn’t haunt anyone like this , you know ? ❞
* don’t. / accepting. @hermaeth
