Blackbird claw, raven wing. Under the red sunlight. Long clothesline, two shirtsleeves, waving as we go by.
Hundred years, hundred more, someday we may see a woman king, wristwatch time, slowing as she goes to sleep.

Because I've been treated so wrong. I've been treated
so long as if I'm becoming untouchable. Well, content loves
the silence. It thrives in the dark with fine winding tendrils that
strangle the heart. They say that promises sweeten the blow, but
I don't need them, no. I don't need them.

He came to her, wings drooping, joints aching, exhausted.
She moved to fill the space between them. "Malphas? What's the matter?"
She reached out slowly, touching his face, lifting it to look at her. He closed his
eyes, a tangible sign of his trust in her and gradually he let himself relax.
He took a deep breath, leaning into her hand, even clasping his own over hers.
Lilith's touches meant warmth and safety, something the demon had to keep
reminding himself of. He had been on his own since he was a fledgling
and was ignorant to the feelings of softness and comfort that came from
someone who cared the way she did.
"My father is having me tried for turning a human into a demon,"
he explained to her.
She didn't understand why it was wrong, but if it was troubling him,
it troubled her. "You don't have to go back."
Her voice sounded small and pleading to his ears and he could tell without even
opening his eyes that she had that worried look on her face. He smiled weakly,
opening his eyes. If only if were that easy. "I do. I have to face my father, my family,
the council. What I did to you... it didn't go unnoticed. I will be tried and I will
lose my claim to the throne..." he said casually enough.

And we were in flames, I needed I needed you
to run through my veins like disease.
And now we are strangers.
