• I was trembling in the closet, my hand pinned to my mouth, desperately attempting not to make a sound. I knew how it would end if you ever found me. I bit my tongue until it bled, I gasped in pain, bit it again. You obviously heard me. I see the doorknob turn. You enter, grab my arm, and drag me to your car. Then you say "No, don't fear. I am here to take you away. Forget the things you used to love and replace them with me. Take this blade and open your chest, pull out your heart and hand it here. I will hold it close to me. This is the fate that you deserve." I did what you said, afraid to refuse. It didn't hurt like you'd expect. The blood made my burning skin cool. "Why do you want me dead?" You tell me "This is love." "Look in your pocket," you said. I pull out your heart. You pull over next to a cemetery gate. We step out and you show me the graves, the stones are engraved with familiar names. We dance and celebrate this death. I stop, my smile fades in horror. "Is this really how it works?" You grab my hand and say "No, don't fear. I am here to take you away. Forget the things you used to love and replace them with me. Take this blade and open your chest, pull out your heart and hand it here. I will hold it close to me. This is the fate that you deserve." I thought this would be torture, but my fear is gone. Tell me to bleed, I will again, a thousand times until there's no blood left. Even though my body feels dead, my heart came alive when you said "No, don't fear. I am here to take you away. Forget the things you used to love and replace them with me. Take this blade and open your chest, pull out your heart and hand it here. I will hold it close to me. This is the fate that you deserve."
