I know you don't want to hear my excuse of how I ended up in a group home for a month and a half and still haven't returned home, amiright?

So here's something small.

Sorry for the poetry-type crap, but I'm reading Burned at the moment, which is in the style, and I wanted to try it. ;)


It didn't Hurt.

No, not really.

If I must be a guy, might as well

act the part.

...

Little rustles.

Cleaning, I suppose.

My sandwhich was

uneaten, of course.

...

"Do you like it when I'm mad, or something?"

He was

fustrated.

A bit

angry.

And maybe

Confused?

...

Whispers only escaped.

"Of course not.

Then you might

start to hate me."

...

Stop.

I heard it.

Felt it

stop.

And I hoped

To whatever was up there,

that he didn't

hate me.

...

"God.

Dammit."

...

I gagged on his tone

Oh, no.

Oh, God.

...

"This

it isn't going to work."

...

Nails.

At my hair,

digging

at my skull.

...

"Unless something

changes."

The pieces

they didn't fit together

to me.

...

I hoped my voice didn't

crack.

"Changes?"

...

"Don't be a moron!"

Kurogane

A typical

man.

Bad with words.

Very physical.

But that makes me a

man

too.

...

Without

complications.

Without

Words so hard.

He had said,

Don't make me

explain myself.

Because I

Can't.

...

"What do you

want?"

...

"Trust me."

...

"Easy for

you

to say."

My nails,

they sat there,

uncertain, at my skull.

...

"...I won't say please."

Kurogane

wasn't dumb.

He was

masculine, all

adrenalin.

But he wasn't

Stupid.

Never was he

stupid.

...

Steps.

Toward me.

Soft.

He wasn't trying to

hide.

If he were, he'd be

silent.

...

A knee, it cracked

as he crouched

before me,

before Silence.

...

"Talk," I murmured,

cracked voice washing into

Silence's face.

"I can't

judge."

...

Nails,

tighter,

pain.

Memories.

Want.

Need.

...

"Tell me

truths.

Like always."

...

Always.

He'd never

lied. Though his words

they could be painful.

But they were never true lies.

...

"I won't tell you,

'Baby,

it'll be alright.'

Hunny, I'll never hurt you.'

Because I might,

by accident.

And you're

not my

baby.

You're hardly mine.

But I'm all yours.

So take me?

You expect lies.

So take truths,

since you're so stupid

as to ask."

...

A glance

was all I chanced

up from my knees.

A bit of slack

was all I gave

my nails from my brain.

...

Wordy for him,

yes.

A change,

yes.

...

"Truths.

They sound like lies.

Everything sounds like

lies."

...

"Then you're hearing is

fucked up."

...

He smirked.

Calm.

An infero in a ditch,

enclosed for the time being.

...

Somehow smiling,

I reached out

pushed him.

Not like it made a difference.

He hardly budged.

"Screw you."

...

"Please do."

...

Stupid. Dog.
