summary: She says, "Let's fall in love." All he hears is fear and ego.
A-Side Tracks: title is from the Mother Mother song, "Let's Fall In Love".

She says, "I love you."

You hear, "Close your wings, land on my gloved arm. Stay a while, I can handle your weight."

She says, "I love you."

You hear the scissors snip and the susurrus of falling feathers, chains rattle into a snare, the silence as they settle around a wingless amnesiac.

She says, "I love you."

You hear, "Put your weapon down and your hatred aside. Come home, little lost boy, the water is nice. Have some lotus, it tastes sweet and cures everything. You know that yesterday sleeps forever."

She says, "I love you."

You hear hypnosis and remember what love has done before, steeped in everyone else's blood, as your demons troll their nightmares through your dreams.

You hear, "Unmake your dreams."

You hear the sound of her trying to kill you, the battle in her steps to end your war.

You hear, "Let me exorcize your past."

You hear her hands invading a chest cavity, always a toss-up whether she is trying to kill or save.

"Forget. Forget vengeance. Forget everything that has made you."

You hear, standing in front of you with more blood than a massacre, willing to carry your unapologetic carcass back this time because love is not soft and neither is she, she is evidence that never-resting vengeance consumes the love and the hate and the life of everything that has ever given a damn to love and hate and live until worlds can cease to exist.

She says, "I love you," like she's never said it before, not to anyone else, and it's a revelation.

She speaks once and you hear everything you crave and abhor, your hand around her heart.

B-Side Tracks: I've never done second person before, not really. Thoughts?
