[ (It'll never last but nothing does — that's the rule not just of this brand of magic but of life itself. He walks through her every thought, itches under her skin, and bit by bit she has come to know his color. She knows that he doesn't know any better than sweet and suffocating. She knows his attentions are split, that the fact he keeps her doesn't make him special. She knows how badly the cords that run through her have been twisted and turned.
She knows he loves her but that knowledge takes the shape of shattered glass, a complete image in one light but shards in the next, sharp enough to cut and bleed. He loves her, but there is nothing that that has brought her except grief.)
His voice tolls through her head and she can't quite tell — even though he's kissing her, even though his tongue is pressing into her mouth — if she's hearing them in her head or he's saying them out loud. Her grasp upon him — one hand curled into his hair, the other at his waistband — tightens abruptly, and she draws in a sharp breath with her lips still pressed to his, as if she could draw forth the sentiment that she's been chasing for so long directly from the hollow of his chest. ]
